Women Unite: It’s Time for a Jeans Rebellion

This is a rant and a personal campaign against the jeans-ing of American women. It’s time for a Jeans Rebellion!

Collectively, we’ve lost our sense of style. Men look good in jeans. Women? Not so much. So why is nearly every woman at the mall and the farmer’s market clad in them? Because they’re easy? Or are we universally depressed and want to make ourselves look bad? Well, we’ve succeeded.

Quotes by Lianne Downey  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“No matter how you arrive at the awareness and belief that you've lived before and will live again, the most lasting healing benefit will be the change in your attitude. You are creating your future lives right at this moment, and every moment of decision-making.”
Lianne Downey, Speed Your Evolution: Become the Star Being You Are Meant to Be

“...knowing about your past lives is worse than useless if that knowledge doesn't bring you some kind of positive change or healing.”
Lianne Downey, Speed Your Evolution: Become the Star Being You Are Meant to Be

“Ohhhhhhh,” she groaned, jerking up from the reclining seat as the tears exploded. She felt as devastated as if she were still in the body of the grizzled fighting man. Convulsing sobs of remorse tortured her energy body and she rocked it like a baby, holding her midsection, feeling as if her stomach would turn inside out. She struggled to speak, gulping in habit for air that didn’t exist, which would have been useless to her energy lungs anyway.
She had to know.
“Who? Who…was…he?” she managed in spurts. “The boy—”
“You know the answer already, don’t you?” Coriskancsia replied gently.”
Lianne Downey, Cosmic Dancer: An Interdimensional Fantasy

“Be careful about reading health books. Some fine day you'll die of a misprint.”
Markus Herz

“In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them.”
Mark Twain

“Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very;' your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.”
Mark Twain

“Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been.”
Mark Twain
