A good mother is irreplaceable.

I look at my roommates who are so proud of me that it makes me proud.

That's when you know for sure somebody loves you. They figure out what you need and they give it to you - without you asking.

I like it when my mother smiles. And I especially like it when I make her smile.

But what Mom never told me is that along the way, you find sisters, and they find you. Girls are cool that way.

We hang out, we help one another, we tell one another our worst fears and biggest secrets, and then just like real sisters, we listen and don't judge.

Mama always said a good family has one heartbeat. No one knows you like the people you live with, and no one will take up your cause to the outside world quite like your blood relatives.

I even love the smell of books.

I don't settle in any other area of my life when it comes to excellence, so why should I lower my standards when it comes to boys?

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who want to know the facts, and those who want to make up a nice story to feel better. I wish I was the kind who made up stories.

Art makes the spirit soar. And when the spirit is lifted, life follows.

If death blew a trumpet each time he was coming, there would be no one to greet him on arrival.

You are a success and nothing will stop your shining!

Do you know what is God? – Life power undergoing various changes in the process of yoga as depicted, gets up in the Cerebrum – This is God.

...just being ordinary in and of itself is and expression of divinity; the truth of one's real self can be discovered through the pathway of everyday life.

Fear clogs; Faith liberates.

God doesn't call the equipped, son. God equips the called. And you have been called.

The Bristol Channel was always my guide, and I was always able to draw an imaginary line from my bed to our house over in Wales. It was a great comfort.

... there is no such thing as a rational world and a separate irrational world, but only one world containing both.

If you love something, set it free. And if it really loves you, it will find a way to come back.

I feel very blessed. I have had, and am having, such a lovely life.
