Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.” ― Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

“For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you
will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”

real glamour; it's based on femininity.”

defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found

not just happen.”

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
call to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.” ― Mary Oliver

overlook the old.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from
ordinary people, that he could not understand why no one was as
disturbed as he by the clicking of her heels on the paving stones, why
no one else's heart was wild with the breeze stirred by the sighs of her
veils, why everyone did not go mad with the movements of her braid, the
flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter. He had not missed a
single one of her gestures, not one of the indications of her character,
but he did not dare approach her for fear of destroying the spell.”
―
Gabriel García Márquez,
Love in the Time of Cholera
“Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the
concrete? Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having
feet. Funny, it seems to by keeping it's dreams; it learned to breathe
fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else
even cared.”
―
Tupac Shakur,
The Rose That Grew from Concrete
