The avant-garde spirit is not just a youthful sentiment — I live my life by it.

We are all of us obliged... to nurse a few little follies in ourselves.

Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect.

Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them.

Some people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power.

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

Love is really... a recognition of another person’s integrity and truth.

If you wake up and the day feels broken, just lean into the crack.

There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.
