I think writing really helps you heal yourself. I think if you write long enough you will be a healthy person. That is if you write what you need to write as opposed to what will make money or what will make fame.

It's impossible to put yourself first when you're a mom.

Sometimes if you don't have kids yourself it's assumed you won't understand or know how to play a mom which is kind of silly if you think about it.

Growing up with three older brothers and being the youngest and the only girl my mom always made me tough. She's taught me over the years how to be a strong independent woman how to carry yourself in a positive way and anything that my brothers can do I can do.

AIDS can destroy a family if you let it but luckily for my sister and me Mom taught us to keep going. Don't give up be proud of who you are and never feel sorry for yourself.

My mom always says 'If you don't believe in something you'll lose yourself completely.'

Once in high school I completely over plucked my left eyebrow all the way up to where you're not supposed to. I had no idea what I was doing and it looked terrible! My mom was like 'What did you do to yourself?' I was so embarrassed.

A Romney-Ryan administration will protect and strengthen Medicare for my Mom's generation for my generation and for my kids and yours.

Don't let people disrespect you. My mom says don't open the door to the devil. Surround yourself with positive people.

You can kill ten of our men for every one we kill of yours. But even at those odds you will lose and we will win.

Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.

In a sacred ground like marriage you find yourself out of it at certain times for reasons unknown that can be destructive. There could be a demon that kind of comes out and overtakes you.

I don't know why but the older I get the more interested I get in my parents' marriage. And it's interesting to be married yourself too because there is an inevitable comparison.

Whether it be a matter of personal relations within a marriage or political initiatives within a peace process there is no sure-fire do-it-yourself kit.

Marriage hasn't been my thing. But gay people knock yourselves out!

There was a time in the marriage when I could no longer look at myself in a mirror couldn't feel I was a nice person. A bad relationship can do that can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.

I'm not convinced about marriage. Divorce is so easy and that fact that gay people are not allowed to marry takes much of the meaning out of it. Committing yourself to one person is sacred.

Well I think in a marriage you have to be honest and ask yourself you know what is my role? What is my responsibility?

If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you fill her above the brim with love of herself all that runs over will be yours.

It sounds like a cliche but I also learnt that you're not going to fall for the right person until you really love yourself and feel good about how you are.

What I am is how I came out. No one's perfect and you just have to accept your flaws and learn to love yourself.

Well love is insanity. The ancient Greeks knew that. It is the taking over of a rational and lucid mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself you have no power over yourself you can't even think straight.

Don't forget to love yourself.

All the commandments: You shall not commit adultery you shall not kill you shall not steal you shall not covet and so on are summed up in this single command: You must love your neighbor as yourself.
