I am serving the Lord and helping women save babies.
I am doing the mountain climbing to empower women.
How can I expect readers to know who I am if I do not tell them about my family, my friends, the relationships in my life? Who am I if not where I fit in the world, where I fit in the lives of the people dear to me?
Sometimes I doubt and sometimes I believe. And I like not making myself believe when I am doubting, and not making myself doubt when I am believing. Surely neither God nor Accident need my consistency.
Not a single star will be left in the night. The night will not be left. I will die and, with me, the weight of the intolerable universe. I shall erase the pyramids, the medallions, the continents and faces. I shall erase the accumulated past. I shal...
Sometimes when Australians go overseas, it's as though the 'Aussie' is refined out of them. I don't know why. It's never happened to me, because I'm really proud of it. I'm not embarrassed about where I'm from or who I am any more. I know who I am. I...
Do I fear death? No, I am not afraid of being dead because there's nothing to be afraid of, I won't know it. I fear dying, of dying I feel a sense of waste about it and I fear a sordid death, where I am incapacitated or imbecilic at the end which isn...
I love fortune readings! because when I get in troubles, if the reading says that I am in a lucky day, I can think my troubles are just some kind of mistakes, and if the reading says that I am in the unlucky day, I can think that my troubles are just...

I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what couldI tell her about those things that she didn't already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race - that rarel...
I am fascinated by crime scene investigating. I swear, I wish I was a crime scene investigator sometimes!
I don't think I am narcissistic. I think I have low self-esteem.
I used to think then that I was Bohemian, but I know now that I am not. I prefer order and precision to untidiness and looseness.
I think I may have failed at a lot of things, but the one thing I can say, and that I'm proud of, is that I am a good parent.
I love who I am and I love my life, but if I could be someone else, I'd be Beyonce in two seconds.
I thought I was an old soul, and that I knew life, but then starting the real life, I figured I am completely new.
I have always tried to perform the music I love, and I think I am lucky because my preferences are often the ones of the public.
I still sing because I love the sound of applause, because it's who I am, and because I still can.
