"Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore."

"Dust if you must: but wouldn't it be better
To paint a picture or write a letter,
Bake a cake or plant a seed?
Ponder the difference between want and need."
- Rose Milligan

"I think that if life separates us and we end up in totally different places, we'll always remember when our paths align for this period of time. And I'll be thankful for that. And I hope that wherever you are, you'll be thankful too. And that's the best that we can wish for."

Quote of the Day
"People get angry at environmentalists because they think they're slowing down the economy and creating restrictions, and a lot of these people are Christians, very devout Christians. And that's such a confusing thing to me...that if you believe that God gave you the Earth, that God created the earth for you, why would you not have to look after it?! What would you not think that when he came back he wouldn't go, 'What did you do?! I gave this to you, are you crazy?! The polar bears are brown! WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE POLAR BEARS?!'"
