It completely sickens me what our culture is doing to women. last week i wore a big top and little shorts and a bunch of stuff came out saying i was without pants. 'the no-pants look,' it said. and i didn't go out without pants, i had shorts on... if olivia wilde had gone to a party with a big silky top and little shorts she might have been told her outfit was cute... what it was really: 'why did you show us your thighs?'

More From Lena Dunham

One of the biggest changes in my lifetime, is the phenomenon of men wearing shorts. men never wore shorts when i was young. this is one of the worst changes, by far. it's disgusting. to have to sit next to grown men on the subway in the summer, and they're wearing shorts? they look ridiculous, like children, and i can't take them seriously. my fashion advice, particularly to men wearing shorts: ask yourself, 'could i make a living modeling these shorts?' if the answer is no, then change your clothes. put on a pair of pants.
Summer Fashion Children
She didn’t understand why it was happening,” he said. “i had to tell her she would die. her social worker said i had to tell her. i had to tell her she would die, so i told her she was going to heaven. she asked if i would be there, and i said that i would not, not yet. but eventually, she said, and i promised that yes, of course, very soon. and i told her that in the meantime we had great family up there that would take care of her. and she asked me when i would be there, and i told her soon. twenty-two years ago.
Years Two Heaven
She smiled. she knew she was dying. but it did not matter any longer. she had known something which no human words could ever tell and she knew it now. she had been awaiting it and she felt it, as if it had been, as if she had lived it. life had been, if only because she had known it could be, and she felt it now as a hymn without sound, deep under the little whole that dripped red drops into the snow, deeper than that from which the red drops came. a moment or an eternity- did it matter? life, undefeated, existed and could exist. she smiled, her last smile, to so much that had been possible.
Life Hymns Snow
Granana doesn't understand what the big deal is. she didn't cry at olivia's funeral, and i doubt she even remembers olivia's name. granana lost, like, ninety-two million kids in childbirth. all of her brothers died in the war. she survived the depression by stealing radish bulbs from her neighbors' garden, and fishing the elms for pigeons. dad likes to remind us of this in a grave voice, as if it explained her jaundiced pitilessness: "boys. your grandmother ate pigeons."
Brother Dad War
She asked me what was wrong, and i told her i had to end it. she was surprised, and asked my why i thought so. i told her it wasn't a thought, more a feeling, like i couldn't breathe and knew i had to get some air. it was a survival instinct, i told her. she said it was time for dinner. then she sat me down and told me not to worry. she said moments like this were like waking up in the middle of the night: you're scared, your'e disoriented, and you're completely convinced you're right. but then you stay awake a little longer and you realize things aren't as fearful as they seem.
Night Air Realize Things
Franny has the measles, for one thing. incidentally, did you hear her last week? she went on at beautiful length about how she used to fly all around the apartment when she was four and no one was home. the new announcer is worse than grant - if possible, even worse than sullivan in the old days. he said she surely dreamt that she was able to fly. the baby stood her ground like an angel. she said she knew she was able to fly because when she came down she always had dust on her fingers from touching the light bulbs.

You have to temper the iron. every hardship is an opportunity that you are given, an opportunity to grow. to grow is the sole purpose of existence on this planet earth. you will not grow if you sit in a beautiful flower garden, but you will grow if you are sick, if you are in pain, if you experience losses, and if you do not put your head in the sand, but take the pain as a gift to you with a very, very specific purpose. copyright: elisabeth kubler-ross family limited partnership.
Beautiful Death Pain
I wanted to destroy everything beautiful i'd never have. burn the amazon rain forests. pump chlorofluorocarbons straight up to gobble the ozone. open the dump valves on supertankers and uncap offshore oil wells. i wanted to kill all the fish i couldn't afford to eat, and smother the french beaches i'd never see. i wanted the whole world to hit bottom.

Every single thing in the world that was made by anyone started with an idea. so to catch one that is powerful enough to fall in love with, it is one of the most beautiful experiences. it's like being jolted with electricity and knowledge at the same time.

How hard it is to have the beautiful interdependence of marriage and yet be strong in oneself alone.
