"It's strange how deliberate people are after a death.

Because there is a lot of grey to work with. No one can live in the light all the time."
"It had the word bitches in it, which is perfectly fine to use if you're a rapper or a director making a movie about career women, but not if you're a teen girl talking about her homies.""Good point, Petra. We know that young ladies of the teen persuasion do not use these indelicate words. Nor do they have thoughts about sex, masturbation, violence, being competitive, or farting."
"There is an ancient tribal proverb I once heard in India. It says that before we can see properly we must first shed our tears to clear the way."
