Good Quotes

When I was in high school, I was obsessed with quotations.

I wrote them all over my notebooks, pondered what they meant, how they would apply to my life . . . (on and on).

I don't really search for quotations any more nor do I live my life by them as I used but I still can't resist writing down two damn good ones. I read/heard them in the past 24 hours:

Halle Berry was recently named Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire Magazine and in her acceptance speech, she wrote, "[Sexy is-] It's about loving yourself even in your most unlovable moments. I know a little bit about that."

I know a lot about that; I think Halle does too.

The second quote comes from my all time favorite television show, Grey's Anatomy. I heard it last night when I watched the second episode of the 5th season and read it today on the writer's blog.

Meredith's therapist tells her that she still needs therapy because "And happiness in the face of horrible is not the goal. Feeling the horrible stuff and knowing that you’re not gonna die from the feelings? That’s goal."

That's one damn good therapist.
