Person
(page 9)
I love to reinvent myself, and that's because I am a very free person. I do what I feel, and I love who I am.
I'm proud of myself. I could break and go get all this plastic surgery and get my nose fixed and get lipo or do whatever, but I haven't chosen to do that because I know I'm a great person. I'm pretty damn hot, if you ask me.
I'm basically quite a cheerful person.
Ask yourself: was there anything I could have done to prevent the situation? If the answer is yes, do something now and become a better person for it.
Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
I grew up in the South under segregation. So, I know what terrorism feels like — when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn't look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. I mean, that's terrorism, too.
Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting.
Anybody can become angry — that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
Sometimes I am moody or bubbly, and then at other times, I just want to disconnect. I am an extreme person.
I am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences. Today is one of those experiences.
Much of the time, the things we feel guilty about are not our issues. Another person behaves inappropriately or in some way violates our boundaries. We challenge the behavior, and the person gets angry and defensive. Then we feel guilty.
God can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly meet the right person, or suddenly your health improves, or suddenly you're able to pay off your house. That's God shifting things in your favor.
I'm a suck-it-up-and-move-on kind of person. Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on.
An anniversary is a reminder as to why you love and married this person.
We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.
People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.
One person's car is another person's scenery.
I'm not an activist; I don't look for controversy. I'm not a political person, but I'm a person with compassion. I care passionately about equal rights. I care about human rights. I care about animal rights.
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
I wash my own dishes; I do my own laundry. I'm not a glamorous person at all, not at all.
