Choose happiness, not success, as your life’s goal. If you become successful but aren’t happy, then what is the point?

Only when you are kinder to yourself, you can be kinder to the world.

The secret of happiness? Live life in the slow lane.

If you wish to clear away the clouds of thought, simply keep your mind in the present.

Life is like improvised jazz. We cannot regulate all the variables. We must play it with panache and flair as best we can.

Life’s three best teachers: heartbreak, empty pocket, failures.

The way I define beauty is individuality and wisdom, which I think creates a certain inner confidence. And not confidence in a way that’s only on the surface, but a deep-down knowing of yourself or settling into who you are.

To be your own person, you need good friends. Friends are the treasure of your life.

I have insecurities, of course, but I don’t hang out with anyone who points them out to me.

Madame, you must be gay; only thus can life be endured. I speak from experience for I have had to endure much, and have only been able to endure it because I have always laughed whenever I had the chance.

My principal sin is doubt. I doubt everything, and am in doubt most of the time.

I didn’t have high self-esteem when I was a teenager, as I think most teenagers don’t.

Anna spoke not only naturally and intelligently, but intelligently and casually, without attaching any value to her own thoughts, yet giving great value to the thoughts of the one she was talking to.

I have an attention span that’s as long as it has to be.

I wrote these words for everyone who struggles in their youth, who won’t accept deception instead of what is truth.

Imperfections make you beautiful, they make you who you are.

No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, you are beautiful.

I’m really happy to be me, and I’d like to think people like me more because I’m happy with myself and not because I refuse to conform to anything.

I’ve never had a problem with how I look. I’d rather have lunch with friends than go to the gym.

I’m a lightweight, easy to fall easy to break.

As everybody knows, but the haters and losers refuse to acknowledge, I do not wear a wig.My hair may not be perfect but it’s mine.
