My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.
Different cocktails for different Saturday nights.
It's only through listening that you learn, and I never want to stop learning.
I like women who like each other and empower each other.
You can never, never have too many books
If you don't take risks, you'll have a wasted soul.
I can't think of any issue that is more important than working to see that no schoolchild in this world goes hungry.
