Sister Maria, Sister Maria Catherine, and behind them the newest sisters of the convent who've all been there less than a year. Hello, sisters. I'm learning so much and our whole audience didn't know this either, so I was feeling kind of ignorant and almost embarrassed to say I didn't know that the habit meant that it was your wedding dress and that you were married to Christ. I also thought that you had to be a virgin.”

  19. “The Japanese word geisha means a person of the arts, and for nearly 400 years it was a highly coveted life for Japanese women. Geishas entertained the richest and most powerful men in Japan. To become a geisha meant years of intense training in the quest for artistic beauty. Elaborate hairstyles, exquisite kimonos, white makeup with dark red lips, geishas were the embodiment of the most alluring Japanese woman. They were valued for their charm and intelligence, musical talent, and graceful dancing. Geishas adhered to a strict code, no marriage, no eating in public, and a geisha never reveals her true age. Australia-born Sayuki is the only white geisha in the world. Lisa Ling traveled to Tokyo to meet the outsider who was able to penetrate this 400-year-old secret society.”

  26. “Through 25 seasons 4,561 episodes. I believe the Oprah Winfrey Show is one of the greatest classrooms in the world. I really never thought of it that way. The Aha Moments, the breakthroughs, the LOLs, the connections, the occasional ugly cry. I'm missing so terribly, I miss him every single minute. The moments that mattered. Eye opening, life lessons. Never allow them to take you somewhere else. I'm bringing them back. It's time to open the vault. I've personally chosen these classic episodes to share with you again. Every single person you ever will meet shares that common desire. They want to know, do you see me? Do you hear me? Does what I say mean anything to you? You are listening to the Oprah Winfrey Show, the podcast.”
