- There comes a point in life when you realize everything you know about yourself, it's all just conditioning. It's the rare man who truly know who he is.
- Brian Buckner, True Blood, Plaisir d'amour, 2008
- When you're a teenager and you're in love, it's obvious to everyone but you and the person you're in love with.
- John Scalzi, Old Man's War, 2005
- I already knew to eat clean and listen to my body, to only eat when I was in a calm mental state. Everyone knew. But when you're fat in the head, it's never about knowing the answers. It's about living them.
- Stephanie Klein, Moose, 2008
- That's the thing about being a former fat camp champ: when asked if I'd change my past if I could, I always answer no. The pain of being an overweight kid, the humiliation, make you think twice before ever cutting anyone else down.
- Stephanie Klein, Moose, 2008
- I shall not pretend that I do not prefer to have people adore me rather than revile me, but I have always found that it was far easier for me to suffer the disapprobation of others than to amend my behaviour in order to find favour with them.
- Kathryn L. Nelson, Pemberley Manor, 2006
- I have made plenty of enemies in my lifetime, but none has ever done me as much injury as I do myself.
- Kathryn L. Nelson, Pemberley Manor, 2006
- When I walk into my kitchen today, I am not alone. Whether we know it or not, none of us is. We bring fathers and mothers and kitchen tables, and every meal we have ever eaten. Food is never just food. It's also a way of getting at something else: who we are, who we have been, and who we want to be.
- Molly Wizenberg, A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table, 2009
- Often we don't even realize who we're meant to be because we're so busy trying to live out someone else's ideas. But other people and their opinions hold no power in defining our destiny.
- Oprah Winfrey (1954 - ), O Magazine, November 2009
- A writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, because everything she does is golden. In my view, a writer is a writer because even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway.
- Junot Diaz, O Magazine, November 2009
- I love that sometimes we need to go to the opposite side of the world to realize assumptions that we didn't even know we had and realize that the opposite may also be true.
- Derek Sivers, TED Talk: Weird, or just different? Nov 2009
