Quotes by Lisa Kogan

A rose is not its thorns, a peach is not its fuzz and a human being is not his or her crankiness.

When I was extremely young and shockingly stupid, I thought you werent supposed to ever get angry at anybody you cared about (lest you suspect Im exaggerating the shockingly stupid part, I also thought Mount Rushmore was a natural phenomenon). I honestly believed that people who were truly in love would never dream of having a good, old-fashioned, knock-down, drag-out fight. I guess when youre the type of girl who walks around thinking that the wind just sort of sculpted Teddy Roosevelt into the side of a mountain, the concept of a fairy-tale relationship makes total sense.

I believe in love. I believe it transforms, transports, and transcends. I believe it fine-tunes goodness, solidifies strength, ripens resolve, eradicates rage, alleviates stress, and elevates empathy.
