Every woman has a story, and every story deserves to be told.
The most important thing is to be able to listen.
Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.
I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
当遇到反对意见时,即使它可能来自你的丈夫或孩子,也要努力用论证而不是权威去克服它,因为依靠权威的胜利是不可靠而虚妄的。
