trust your body it reacts to right and wrong better than your mind does - it is speaking to you

why are you so unkind to me my body cries cause you don't look like them i tell her

a lot of times we are angry at other people for not doing what we should have done for ourselves - responsibility

i hear a thousand kind words about me and it makes no difference yet i hear one insult and all confidence shatters - focusing on the negative

i reduced my body to aesthetics forgot the work it did to keep me alive with every beat and breath declared it a grand failure for not looking like theirs foolish enough to not realise i was already living in one

we have been dying since we got here and forgot to enjoy the view - live fully

you do not just wake up and become the butterfly - growth is a process

despite knowing they won't be here for long they still choose to live their brightest lives - sunflowers

wish pure love and soft peace upon the ones who've been unkind to you and keep moving forward - this will free you both

if i am the longest relationship of my life isn't it time to nurture intimacy and love with the person i lie in bed with each night - acceptance

borders are man-made they only divide us physically don't let them make us turn on each other - we are not enemies

never feel guilty for starting again

i will no longer compare my path to others - i refuse to do a disservice to my life

it is a trillion-dollar industry that would collapse if we believed we were beautiful enough already

their concept of beauty is manufactured i am not - human

how do i shake this envy when i see you doing well sister how do i love myself enough to know your accomplishments are not my failures - we are not each other's competition

we need more love not from men but from ourselves and each other - medicine

you are a mirror if you continue to starve yourself of love you'll only meet people who'll starve you too if you soak yourself in love the universe will hand you those who'll love you too - a simple math

what is the greatest lesson a woman should learn that since day one she's already had everything she needs within herself it's the world that convinced her she did not

You never know what lies right around the corner.

I'm not against extracting a modest amount of wildlife out of the ocean for human consumption, but I am really concerned about the large-scale industrial fishing that engages in destructive practices like trawling and longlining.

For me, it's more about keeping it simple with a rock and roll edge. It's all about accessorising.

Being from Texas, acting or music isn't really a thing to do.

I went through a phase of eating dinner in the shower because I thought, 'Why don't we do that?' Then I realised, 'Because it doesn't make any sense.' It doesn't save any time, and you can't really get into a steak and baked potato when there's water pouring on you.

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment.

I'm all in favor of banks that play their part in community endeavors, private individuals looking for loans, people who want to start up a little business, and that's what banks are for.

How sweet the answer Echo makes To music at night When roused by lute or horn she wakes And far away oer lawns and lakes Goes answering light.

You can run out of energy if you take on a lot of stuff.

It is just that heavy metal musicians write in minor keys and when you do that you frighten people.

Litigation is the pursuit of practical ends, not a game of chess.

Preparedness, when properly pursued, is a way of life, not a sudden, spectacular program.

Although I may find the type of programming seen during the 2004 Super Bowl and the 2003 Golden Globe Awards disgusting and disturbing, we must always work hard to defend the cherished freedoms so clearly outlined in our Constitution, including a healthy and free press.

Growing up, I've had plenty of obstacles, but to be honest, I didn't always have doubters. I was a standout athlete, so when that happens, you don't have too many people telling you 'You can't do this,' and 'You can't do that.' I've always been a bit of a people person and a hard worker.

I am happy.I have something to accomplish, create, and achieve I am happy.

Freedom of the press is not an end in itself but a means to the end of achieving a free society.

I was writing very early, like I was involved in our high school literary magazine, which was called 'Pariah.' The football team was the Bears, and the literary magazine was 'Pariah.' It was great. It was definitely a real sub-culture. But I wrote stories for them.

Carry out a random act of kindness with no expectation of reward safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.

Entropy theory is indeed a first attempt to deal with global form but it has not been dealing with structure. All it says is that a large sum of elements may have properties not found in a smaller sample of them.

Thank you to country radio for believing in me.

Skepticism precludes one from believing many things, but not from loving many things.

You know, I'm not saying, 'Oh, because I play a good guy on TV, I need to suddenly be villainous in a movie.' I look at it more like: does this role has a kind of urgency for me in terms of, 'Can I not say no to it for whatever reason?'

Never fight fair with a stranger, boy. You'll never get out of the jungle that way.

My failure, during the first five or six years of my art training, to get set in the right direction, and the disappointment which it caused me, drove me the more persistently into writing as an alternative.
