“some say we are responsible for those we love. others know we are responsible for those who love us”
“it’s a sex object if you’re pretty and no love or love and no sex if you’re fat”
“mistakes are a fact of life. it is the response to the error that counts”
“don’t want to be near you for the thoughts we share but the words we never have to speak”
“and he said: you pretty full of yourself ain’t chu. so she replied: show me someone not full of herself and i’ll show you a hungry person”
‘i really don’t think life is about the i-could-have-beens. life is only about the i-tried-to-do. i don’t mind the failure but i can’t imagine that i’d forgive myself if i didn’t try”
