The outer kingdom is not our real home. The inner kingdom is our everything.
The only real failure is the failure to grow from what we go through.
The world we knew as children is still buried within our minds. Our childlike self is the deepest level of our being. It is who we really are, and what is real doesn’t go away.
We think we need to create ourselves, always doing a paste-up job on our personalities. That is because we’re trying to be special rather than real. We’re pathetically trying to conform with all the other people trying to do the same.

I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns; they disturb my sleep.
By nature, I suppose I have a languorous disposition.
I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots.
I doubt if any doctor could recommend a more nourishing breakfast for a working girl in a hurry.
I’m personally opposed to a deep tan because I like to feel blond all over.
