More quotes by Victoria Moran
You want to live a life in which the things you have traded your hard-earned money for are quality items that really do uplift your life.
Victoria Moran
Our society on a whole is trained to see young women. There are proportionally far more of them on magazine covers, on TV, and in films than int the actual population. As a result, we have a citizenry taught to see the young and ignore the not-so-young. It isn’t conscious it’s Pavlovian. (13)
Victoria Moran
Every person you see has stories, and every person you see has a few that would break your heart. We deserve each other's respect simply because we've survived all we have and kept going anyway.
Victoria Moran
As I see it, a green salad is an open invitation to carrots, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and the sprouts that grow in jars on my kitchen counter.
Victoria Moran
It simply feels right to me to blend the glittery delights of New York City with a largely raw vegan diet - with the soul-deep conviction that animals are not ours to eat, wear, exploit or experiment on.
Victoria Moran
On the issue of abortion, I'm ever on the fence, or, at most, an inch or two to either side.
Victoria Moran
Let other people do it their way. What other people do is irrelevant.
Victoria Moran
That old saying about opportunity only knocking once is as archaic as the flat-earth theory and as patently untrue. Opportunity knocks all the time - and it rings your doorbell, calls you up, and sends you e-mails.
Victoria Moran
I'm over the hill, maybe even the whole mountain range, but I don't see it that way even one little bit.
Victoria Moran
Cruelty to animals is an enormous injustice so is expecting those on the lowest rung of the economic ladder to do the dangerous, soul-numbing work of slaughtering sentient beings on our behalf.
Victoria Moran
A simple life is not seeing how little we can get by with-that's poverty-but how efficiently we can put first things first. . . . When you're clear about your purpose and your priorities, you can painlessly discard whatever does not support these, whether it's clutter in your cabinets or commitments on your calendar. (148)
Victoria Moran
Make your plate look like a Christmas tree, I tell people, mostly green with splashes of other bright colors.
Victoria Moran
In terms of days and moments lived, you'll never again be as young as you are right now, so spend this day, the youth of your future, in a way that deflects regret. Invest in yourself. Have some fun. Do something important. Love somebody extra. In one sense, you're just a kid, but a kid with enough years on her to know that every day is priceless.
Victoria Moran
Look for your brushes with the divine. Be receptive to them. When heaven knocks, open the door. Value these visits. Remember them. Expect more of them.
Victoria Moran
You give up on what you need to be doing because you forget that you're worth it. This is why most people aren't leading exemplary lives...You have to believe in yourself so much that you're willing to do what's uncomfortable, time-consuming, inconvenient, and on occasion seemingly impossible. When you don't believe in yourself this much, pretend.
Victoria Moran
If you only knew who you really are, you'd be starstruck
Victoria Moran
Evolution happens in nature and in individuals. I want to participate actively in its happening within me.
Victoria Moran
Recreational shopping is the shortest distance between two points: you and broke.
Victoria Moran
Home is the place where you are most thoroughly yourself, with no pretenses.
Victoria Moran
I could be a vegan in sackcloth and flip-flops, but I find fabulous boots with periwinkle cuffs a far preferable option.
