But it's important, while we are supporting lessons in respecting others, to remember that many of our youngest kids need to learn to respect themselves. You learn your worth from the way you are treated Picture Quote #1

Even as we enumerate their shortcomings, the rigor of raising children ourselves makes clear to us our mothers' incredible strength. We fear both. If they are not strong, who will protect us? If they are not imperfect, how can we equal them? Picture Quote #1

I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me Picture Quote #1

I realized that, while I would never be my mother nor have her life, the lesson she had left me was that it was possible to love and care for a man and still have at your core a strength so great that you never even needed to put it on display Picture Quote #1

I'm sure not afraid of success and I've learned not to be afraid of failure. The only thing I'm afraid of now is of being someone I don't like much Picture Quote #1

The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself Picture Quote #1

There is a lot of talk now about metal detectors and gun control. Both are good things. But they are no more a solution than forks and spoons are a solution to world hunger Picture Quote #1

If men got pregnant, there would be safe, reliable methods of birth control. They'd be inexpensive, too Picture Quote #1

Some of my best friends are men. It is simply that I think women are superior to men. There, I've said it. It's my dirty little secret Picture Quote #1
