"“Women deserve to have access to information so we can make our own educated choices — not information repackaged in the form of instructions about what those choices should be”" Apr 27, 2026 01:47AM

 
Book cover for The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
When you’re given an opportunity to change your life, be ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen. The world doesn’t give things, you take things. If you learn one thing from me, it should probably be that.”

“The longer I live, the more I observe that carrying around anger is the most debilitating to the person who bears it.”
Katharine Graham

Michelle Obama
“Friends will come and go, taking on more or less importance as you move through different phases of life. You may have a small group of friends, or just a few one-on-one friendships. All of that is okay. What matters most is the quality of your relationships. It’s good to be discerning about who you trust, who you bring close. With new relationships, I find myself quietly assessing whether I feel safe and whether, inside the context of a budding friendship, I feel seen and appreciated for who I am. With our friends, we are always looking for very simple reassurances that we matter, that our light is recognized and our voice is heard—and we owe our friends the same. I want to say, too, that it’s okay to step back from or downsize a difficult friendship. Sometimes we have to let certain friends go, or at least diminish our reliance on them.”
Michelle Obama, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times

“If you aren't on Goodreads, you should be. I've said it before, it's like Facebook for readers on crack.”
Colleen Hoover

Anne Rice
“You do have a story inside you; it lies articulate and waiting to be written — behind your silence and your suffering.”
Anne Rice

Elaine May
“You know how sometimes you lie in bed at night and think, “What if the law of gravity just wears out and lets go and I drift into space?” Does that ever make you anxious?”
Elaine May
