James Russell Lowell

The surest plan to make a man is, think him so.

The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere.

A weed is no more than a flower in disguise, Which is seen through at once, if love give a man eyes.

With my early work I got eviscerated by my male professors, and so you learned to disguise your impulses, as many women have done. And that's definitely changed.

I was a really bad teenager and I got my tongue pierced. I don't even remember where I did it, but it was under very surreptitious circumstances.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
