I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose. Margaret Cho
Jorge Luis Borges quote: "There are people who barely feel poetry, and they are..."
There are people who barely feel poetry, and they are generally dedicated to teaching it. Jorge Luis Borges
It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to. J. R. R. Tolkien
