twas not my lips you kissed but my soul

Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas dive deep and swim far

, so you shall come back with self- respect, with new power,

with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun.

 ― Suzanne Collins

I wanted the whole world or nothing.

– Charles Bukowski

Sometimes, contentment is a matter of will.

You have to look at what you have right in front of you, at what it could be,

and stop measuring it against what you’ve lost. I know this to be wise and true,

 just as I know that pretty much no one can do it.

 – This is where I leave you

Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes.

– Mary Martine

 

The keys is to get to know people and trust them to be who they are.

 Instead, we trust people to be who we want them to be – and when they’re not, we cry.

– David Duchovny

Twas not my lips you kissed But my soul

-- Judy Garland

As for me, I am a watercolor. I wash off.

– Anne Sexton

Women of all looks, shapes, sizes, everything,

 if they recognize how beautiful they are—because they all are—then they carry it that way.

 And you can see that. Confidence is reflected in how they walk and how they dress

and how they speak and how they carry themselves. It’s just amazing.

And that can turn anybody’s head pretty quick, especially mine

--- Scott Avett

It takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart.

– Finnick Odair
