• Women are wonderful, but they get so caught up about their body. We need to unhook from worrying so much. When I don't feel good, I look in the mirror and think I look fat and miserable. But when I feel good and whole, I'm not worried about my body because I'm living in it. It doesn't become an object.

• Los tulipanes salen en primavera sin motivo. Claro, has plantado bulbos y ahora en abril la tierra se calienta. ¿Por qué? Por ninguna razón excepto la gravedad. ¿Por qué la gravedad? Por nada. ¿Y por qué plantaste bulbos de tulipán rojo para empezar? Por la belleza, que es ella misma y no tiene razón. Así que el mundo está vacío. Las cosas suben y bajan sin razón. ¡Y qué gran oportunidad es esa! Puedes volver a escribir en cualquier momento. Deja atrás todos tus fracasos y siéntate a escribir algo genial. O escribe algo terrible y siéntete genial por ello.
