I'd rather be weird and happy than normal and miserable.

The stupid thing about anger is how people hurt you and then you let them keep hurting you by being angry about how they originally hurt you. It’s a vicious cycle.

No one can be everything you want them to be.

This body is yours. It is your home. The keeper of your soul. The resting place of your spirit. No one can ever take that away.

It’s unbelievable how you can affect someone else so deeply and never know.

If you see someone being bullied, make it stop. Why is that so hard for us to do?

My thing is that I'm in love with love. Actually, I'm in love with the possibility of true love. Which could be considered a major problem.

Sometimes in the midst of all your boy drama, you just need a cupcake.

Because if you take a risk, you just might find what you're looking for.

I never said you had to like it. You have to accept it. No regret. - Claire Harding - Boone Holler

Here's what we'll do. We're going to keep you at the end of our fishing line. And if you ever need anything, you just give a little tug and we'll reel you back in.

The desire to please those we admire and respect often cripples conscience.

An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.

Every well-thought-out rebuttal to dogma, every scrap of intelligent logic, every absurdist reduction of some bullying stance is the antidote.

Eat of my deep earth, drink of my living streams, for I am your Mother. Your heart is my wild drum, your breath my eternal song. If you would live, dance with me!

Where lies our salvation? You asked. We do not need any salvation. Does not our end lie on this beginning shore?

The real test of our character is when the bottom falls out.

Know and understand that there will be challenges and difficult times. Don't try to avoid them. Welcome them. Gratefully.

To be happy means to be free, not from pain or fear, but from care or anxiety.
