“A woman can be beautiful as well as intellectual.”

I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself.

Living is like tearing through a museum.

Your heart just breaks, that’s all. But you can’t judge or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you.

I don’t take my life seriously, but I do take what I do in my life, seriously

Love is action. It isn’t just talk, and it never was.

Laughing is the best calorie burner.

I believe, every day, you should have at least one exquisite moment.

For my whole life, my favorite activity was reading. It’s not the most social pastime.

Happy girls are the prettiest girls.

Cheating on a good woman is like choosing trash over treasure.

You can only hope to get a combination of happy work and a happy life.

I don’t want to be alone, I want to be left alone.

I hope for better things, and I thank God the world is also full of people who want to be genuine and kind.

There is one difference between a long life & a great dinner; in the dinner, the sweet things come last.

There is one difference between a long life & a great dinner; in the dinner, the sweet things come last.

On the one hand maybe I’ve remained infantile, while on the other I matured quickly, because at a young age I was very aware of suffering and fear.

The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.

More and more, so it seems to me, light is the beautifier of the building.

Girls should learn that so much finery is only put on to hide defects, and that the triumph of beauty is to shine by itself.

Art perpetuates beauty. Beauty is a symptom of the force that is nature. You are a force of nature, I love you.

What a torment it is to see so much loveliness passing and repassing before us, and yet not dare to lay hold of it!

Because the development of inner calm & energy happens completely within & isn’t dependent on another person or a particular situation, we begin to feel a resourcefulness and independence that is quite beautiful—and a huge relief.

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you, but in the process, I forgot that I was special too.

Taught from infancy that beauty is woman’s sculpture the mind shapes itself to the body and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.
