I feel like this needs to be the library in Beauty and the Beast.

I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me, bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody is passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn’t mind leading.

New Year’s Resolutions are a crappy idea. Just try and make things a little bit better for yourself, step by step, year by year. It’s all incremental. Lots of small victories is better than one big one. No single victory changes everything. Lots of little ones change a whole spread of things.

“When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.” ― Maya Angelou

NPR features an essay from an 85-year-old writer who recently decided to die her hair bright blue. Anne Bernays writes: 

Along about the time I became a great-grandmother I dyed my white hair blue. Not a wussy “blue-rinse” blue, but eye-stabbing, punk-kid blue. At the time, I didn’t do any soul-searching. I just thought, What the hell, why not?

I was surprised by how this turn went over; everyone seemed to approve it. Grouchy people smiled at me. An older woman stopped me on the street to shake my hand. 

Now, after some introspection, I realize that I was protesting the passage of my own time here, highlighted by the great-grandmother thing. In our peculiar culture, beauty does not, as Keats claimed, equal truth. It equals youth.

While young people sparkle like diamonds, old folks are invisible — except, as I discovered, if you have bright blue hair.

“And it seemed to me that Dante’s face was a map of the world. A world without any darkness. 

Wow, a world without darkness. How beautiful was that?”
