There needs to be more variety on television so young girls growing up don’t feel pressured to look one specific way. Tall, thin, curvy, short, whatever you are, you are beautiful.

I’m fragile just washed upon the shore.

You’re not worth the time that this is taking.

Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect.

It doesn’t have to take over your life, it doesn’t have to define you as a person, it’s just important that you ask for help. It’s not a sign of weakness.

It’s not about eating healthy to lose weight. It’s about eating healthy to feel good.

I have been at it ten years. I collect them so that they will not be lost to America. We have no Egyptian mummies here, nor any relics of the Battle of Waterloo nor any curios from Pompeii. It is strictly American.

It takes years to find your voice and seize your real estate.

Anytime I want to feel closer to the ocean, I just lay by your side and listen to the waves ebb and swell in every breath you give and take, and feel each one crash inside of me. I knew from the first time I saw you that whoever said empty shells carried the ocean’s songs had never met you before.

If you can’t be a good example, then you’ll just have to be a horrible warning.

It is just good practice to do a situational scan and have situational awareness when you are out in the world.

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.

I hope that while so many people are out smelling the flowers, someone is taking the time to plant some.

Man is a comparative being. Substandard things must go before super-standard things can come.

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn’t part of ourselves doesn’t disturb us.

Be your authentic self. Your authentic self is who you are when you have no fear of judgment, or before the world starts pushing you around and telling you who you’re supposed to be. Your fictional self is who you are when you have a social mask on to please everyone else. Give yourself permission to be your authentic self.

One of the hardest things for a parent to have to do is to tell your children that your other parent has died.

Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.

And of all the things I look forward to in life, falling in love with you is at the top of the list.

You have to name it to claim it.
