15. “Popular culture today often makes
women look silly, inconsequential,
mindless, and powerless. It objectifies
them and disrespects them and then
suggests that they are able to leave
their mark on mankind only by
seduction—easily the most pervasively
dangerous message the adversary sends
to women about themselves.”
-M. Russell Ballard, “Mothers and Daughters”,
April 2010

16. • Happiness comes from accepting the bodies we
have been given as divine gifts and enhancing
our natural attributes, not from remaking our
bodies after the image of the world. The Lord
wants us to be made over—but in His image, not
in the image of the world, by receiving His image
in our countenances (see Alma 5:14, 19).
- Susan Tanner, “The Sanctity of the Body,” October 2005

17. “Stephen Levine, a Buddhist teacher,
says that hell is wanting to be
somewhere different from where you
are.”
- Geneen Roth, Women, Food and God
