“There’s something so powerful about being my own gorgeous, beautiful, individual, unique self.”

I’ve been able to find a lot of what I’ve not had before: freedom, bravery, fearlessness. It’s empowering to find those things.

I think you are who you are, and your kids will see who you are. So you’d better be a good person, because they are going to see it, and that’s going to shape them. They are going to become you.

You could have all the riches in the world, but it doesn’t mean much without family.

I’m very happy with my body.

I believe if you can find something to give back to, your soul will feel fulfilled in a very powerful way.

I am able to hang with the hardest, the baddest, the worst, and I’m able to hang with the most proper and be at ease. I’m able to hang with any skin colour, any belief. I just fit in everywhere.

I’d rather not have anything than be a liar.

Empower us women and we will change this whole entire world.

Failure isn’t an option. I’ve erased the word fear from my vocabulary and I think when you erase fear you can’t fail.

Sometimes you need to start again, in order to fly

Everybody goes through their life in different ways. I definitely am having my journey. It evolves and changes. At some moments, I feel totally off center and trying to find my way back.

I think following my instinct has proven to lead me in the right direction, and it’s hard to hear sometimes, because it’s a noisy world and there’s a lot of people talking to you.

I always want to stay focused on who I am, even as I’m discovering who I am.

I’ve always expressed myself best through writing. I’ve gotten out all of my deepest feelings that way for as long as I can remember.

Risk the fall to know how it feels to fly.

Simplicity makes me happy.

The beautiful repose of the night its silence and mystery contrasts the commotion of my soul.

To feel is the most beautiful thing in life. It gives us love, as much as pain but only if we accept the pain, we can love.

I look on the opposite sex with something like the admiration with which I regard the starry sky on a frosty December night. I admire the beauty of the Creator’s workmanship, I am charmed with the wild but graceful eccentricity of the motions, and then I wish both of them goodnight.

It is impossible to make anything beautiful or desirable in the best regulated administration of slavery.

I’m so tired of waiting, aren’t you, for the world to become good and beautiful and kind?

Life is a dance – make it beautiful.

Strength looks beautiful on you, keep going.

There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a person being themselves. Imagine going through your day being unapologetically you.
