I like books that aren't just lovely but that have memories in themselves. Just like playing a song, picking up a book again that has memories can take you back to another place or another time.

IT IS TIME THAT WE ALL SEE GENDER AS A SPECTRUM INSTEAD OF TWO SETS OF OPPOSING IDEALS.

There's nothing wrong with being afraid. It's not the absence of fear, it's overcoming it. Sometimes you've got to blast through and have faith.

Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong... It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum not as two opposing sets of ideals.

Gender equality, historically has been predominantly a women's movement for women. But I think the impact of gender inequality and how it's affecting men hasn't really been addressed.

My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.

Hermione uses all these big long tongue twister words. I don't know what she's going on about half the time!

I have collections of quirky things from places I've been to, like a set of Russian dolls.

I don't have makeup on all the time, but when I want, I have fun with my friends choosing clothes and putting nail polish on.

Feeling beautiful has nothing to do with what you look like. I promise.

All I can do is follow my instincts, because I'll never please everyone.

Don't dig up in doubt what you planted in faith.

By taking the time to focus on our mental and emotional well-being, we can minimize our triggers and reduce the likelihood of a recurrence.

I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.

Ants are good citizens: they place group interests first.

I would be lost without the feeling of antagonism that people have towards me. I write out of defiance.

My rocking out didn't make me particularly popular with the boys or girls. It wasn't cute or feminine. I was more of a...weirdo.

I'm a fantasy writer. I don't do SF. This is important to me. If you're not clear on what genre you're in, everything gets muddled, and it's hard to know which rules you're breaking.

The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means.

A lawyer's dream of heaven: every man reclaimed his property at the resurrection, and each tried to recover it from all his forefathers.

And moody madness laughing wild Amid severest woe.
