“Love your body. Be kind to it, nourish it, tender it. It is the pure instrument of expressionthat allows you to experience life on this plane.”

“To let life happen to you is irresponsible. To create your day is your divine right.”

“Per vincere la tua paura devi affrontarla...perchè non c'è luogo dove nasconderla....”

“Life is meaningless only if we allow it to be. Each of us has the power to give life meaning, to make our time and our bodies and our words into instruments of love and hope.”

“There is something about the act of studying an unclothed body, as an artist does, that allows a person to appreciate it as pure form, regardless of the kinds of traits traditionally regarded as imperfections. In a figure drawing class, an obese woman's folds of flesh take on a kind of beauty. You can look at a man's shrunken chest or legs or buttocks with tenderness. Age is not ugly, just poignant.”

“Every once in a while God allows you to stub your toe as a kind reminder to be grateful for the miraculous body attached to it.”

“Rise to the challenge of bringing your dreams to life! Do not be discouraged by resistance, be nourished by it. Success is the experience of rising to the level of your true greatness.”
