Leo Tolstoy

I am always with myself, and it is I who am my tormentor.

Which is worse? The wolf who cries before eating the lamb or the wolf who does not.

If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed.

Love those you hate you.

To get rid of an enemy one must love him.

Instead of going to Paris to attend lectures, go to the public library, and you won’t come out for twenty years, if you really wish to learn.

My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, are various other parts of my body.

I don’t wanna be afraid. I wanna wake up feeling beautiful, today.

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

I do an hour’s yoga and go running every day. Then I see a picture of myself and I still look like a skinny, potbellied idiot – and I thought I had turned into this superhunk!

It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.

I have never been insecure, ever, about how I look, about what I want to do with myself. My mum told me to only ever do things for myself, not for others.

You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn’t mean you’re defective – it just means you’re human.

Being able to take care of myself is something that my mom really instilled in me.

I’m just a broken person looking for other broken people who may have gotten shards of me stuck in their feet and aren’t too concerned about pulling them out.

I intend to be me. Whatever that is.

I enjoy being me; I always have done. I’ve seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I don’t want that in my life.

I am always with myself, and it is I who am my tormentor.

People don’t care about what someone says about you in a movie – or even what you say, right? They care about what you build. And if you can make something that makes people’s life better, then that’s something that’s really good.

Let’s love ourselves then we can’t fail to make a better situation tomorrow. Our seeds will grow, all we need is dedication.

Maybe if I don’t cry, I won’t feel anymore.
