“Many of us want to have relationships because we want a nest, a cozy place of acceptance; that unconditional circumstance. Relationships have become the using of another person as soft stuff to build nests with. Many can do this without even liking the other person, or feeling connected to them, or even wanting to actually be near them. I think the animals are better; an animal would never live with someone they don't like, because they don't have to. They have no religion, no laws, no society. And yet, we see swans and wolves and others: mating for life! For no other reason than that they've found their one-and-only.”

“It's truthfully difficult growing up a woman. When I was a girl, we lived in a small town for the most part and nobody cared to know about anything other than what they already knew. And I was something they didn't know. I really think it was harder for me than the average... girls hate you when you're adorable. Every girl in a small town wants to be the only one worth loving and I've always just had this champagne-bottle personality, unafraid to be soft. But girls took that from me, they really did. They hurt me until I had to toughen up. The best thing about being a woman is that, by now, I've learned how becoming even more like myself is more powerful than any tough exterior I could ever put on. They hate that. It really kills them.”

“I was obscuring my own light. I had been doing it for years. I had done it thinking I was doing what was best for my family, but in making the choice again and again to hide my light, I had reduced myself to someone who was fearful and dependent. In doing what I thought would make me safe, I had, in fact, made myself vulnerable. Deeply, frighteningly vulnerable.”

“When a woman says, "I want to be in love", does this always have to mean, "I want to be in love with a man"? Because I think that we can be "in love" as a state of being. As a state of waking up in the morning. We can be in love because we sink our teeth deeply into the skin and flesh of living. A man is simply another person, a small part of the teeth sinking. Being in love can be an attitude, an outlook, a character trait, one that relies on no one.”

“There is a big problem that arises from keeping the company of those with limited perceptions. At first you'll think you're being kind, or doing people a favour, but the problem you'll eventually face, comes with the realization that we exist to other people not always as we are; but very often, we exist to people as THEY are. So, imagine taking photos with a primitive lens: the primitive lens will capture your view only within its own capacity to do so, and you end up having an image that does not display a true understanding of what it shot. The same thing happens when you allow yourself to be surrounded by primitive mindsets. And you must not do that to yourself; you must not allow all these images of you floating around, none of which do you any justice at all.”
