The longer I live, the more I feel that true repose consists in 'renouncing' one's own self, by which I mean making up one's mind to admit that there is no importance whatever in being 'happy' or 'unhappy' in the usual meaning of the words.

Being happy is a matter of personal taste.

Growing up is not being so dead-set on making everybody happy.

Being a mom makes me feel whole and like I understand the meaning of life.

When all is said and done, what constitutes the impregnable superiority of Christianity over all other types of Faith is that it is ever more consciously identified with a Christogenesis: in other words, with an awareness of the rise of a certain universal Presence which is at once immortalizing and unifying.

For me, success is a state of mind. I feel like success isn't about conquering something; it's being happy with who you are.
