Leo Tolstoy

To get rid of an enemy one must love him.

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

Pierre was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I’m alive, I must live and be happy.

If you want to be happy, be.

Human science fragments everything in order to understand it, kills everything in order to examine it.

I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love.

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

I’m also honored to have the greatest temperament that anybody has.

I’ve never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women, and I’m very proud of that.

If I don’t feel confident about my body, I’m not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself and not do something about it. It’s all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it’s fitness or whatever.

Loving yourself…does not mean being self-absorbed or narcissistic, or disregarding others. Rather it means welcoming yourself as the most honored guest in your own heart, a guest worthy of respect, a lovable companion.

Because of the self-confidence with which he had spoken, no one could tell whether what he said was very clever or very stupid.

Part of me suspects that I’m a loser, and the other part of me thinks I’m God Almighty.

Baby, that’s just me.

You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t sustain you. What is fundamentally beautiful is compassion, for yourself and those around you. That kind of beauty enflames the heart and enchants the soul.

I feel beautiful without makeup on, but when I do put makeup on, it just gives me this extra pop.

I’m here to show you imperfection. The beauty is in the imperfection.

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

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

Throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart […] I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!

The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within- strength, courage, dignity.
