Falling in love and being in love are two different thing, you fall in love without even knowing when and how it happened, you just find yourself loving that person.

If you can be continuously aware of each thought as it rises, and if you can be so indifferent to it that it doesn't sprout or flourish, you are well on the way to escaping from the entanglements of mind.

Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It's simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.

No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.

A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.

Everyone has inside of her a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be, how much you can love, what you can accomplish, and what your potential is.

Take criticism seriously, but not personally. If there is truth or merit in the criticism, try to learn from it. Otherwise, let it roll right off you.

Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves and, of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys they'd just walk around naked at all times.

I'd like every man who doesn't call himself a feminist to explain to the women in his life why he doesn't believe in equality for women.

There's something so special about a woman who dominates in a man's world. It takes a certain grace, strength, intelligence, fearlessness, and the nerve to never take no for an answer.

Of course I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in.

If your hair is done properly and you're wearing good shoes, you can get away with anything.

Feminism isn't about making women strong. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength.

I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on Earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.

Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be.

Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.

I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't.

We've begun to raise daughters more like sons... but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.

Women belong in all places where decisions are being made... It shouldn't be that women are the exception.

A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling.
