Margaret Cho

"I have learned to love that which is meant to harm me, so that I can stand in the way of those who are less strong. I can take the bullets for those who aren't able to. "

"I love drugs, but I hate hangovers, and the hatred of the hangover wins by a landslide every time. "

"If we have the opportunity to be generous with our hearts, ourselves, we have no idea of the depth and breadth of love's reach. "

"Love is the big booming beat which covers up the noise of hate. "

"Maybe I wanted to hear it so badly that my ears betrayed my mind in order to secure my heart. "

"People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in. "

"Politics has less to do with where you live than where your heart is. "

"Privacy and security are those things you give up when you show the world what makes you extraordinary. "

"Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever. "

"Thankfully, beauty is easier to remove than apply, and a swipe of demaquillage in the right direction and you are you once again. "

"Try to love someone who you want to hate, because they are just like you, somewhere inside, in a way you may never expect, in a way that resounds so deeply within you that you cannot believe it. "

"Ugly. Is irrelevant. It is an immeasurable insult to a woman, and then supposedly the worst crime you can commit as a woman. But ugly, as beautiful, is an illusion. "
