I've teamed up with Janssen Pharmaceuticals to raise awareness about blood clot prevention and treatment.”

“Many people entertain the idea that Christianity,like almost any other religion,is basically a system of beliefs-you know, a set of doctrines or a code of behavior, a philosophy, an ideology. But that's a myth. Christianity is not at all like Buddhism or Islam or Confucianism. The founders of those religions said (in effect), 'Here is what I teach. Believe my teachings. Follow my philosophy.' Jesus said, 'Follow me'(Matthew 9:9). Leaders of the world's religions said, 'What do you think about what I teach?' Jesus said, 'Who do you say I am?'(Luke 9:20)”

'You cannot escape your own feelings,' Victoire told Victoria, all those years ago, 'you cannot escape ... from the situation you are born in'. You cannot escape. It was true. You cannot escape.”

For many, love for a parent, a sibling, or a spouse is complex and conflicted.”

They have a richer, more abundant experience of life, and they love more deeply than most people can every imagine. They enjoy life, all of life.”

Taking into account the public’s regrettable lack of taste, it is incumbent upon you not to fit in.”

Outer magickal changes - such as immediately getting a new job, lover, or physical healing - seem more impressive at first, but the inner changes last longer. They are the most impressive.
