"… to find beauty in everyone you must see beauty in everyone, then announce that you see it, for in announcing it, you place it there in their reality."
— Neale Donald Walsch

"First of all, the loving individual has to care about himself. This is number one. I don’t mean an ego trip. I’m talking about somebody who really cares about himself, who says, ‘Everything is filtered through me, and so the greater I am, the more I have to give. The greater knowledge I have, the more I’m going to have to give. The greater understanding I have, the greater is my ability to teach others and to make myself the most fantastic, the most beautiful, the most wondrous, the most tender human being in the world.’"
— Leo Buscaglia, author of one of my favorite books “LOVE”

"Did I say that she was beautiful? I was wrong. Beauty is too tame a notion; it evokes only faces in magazines. A lovely eloquence, a calming symmetry; none of that describes this woman’s face. So perhaps I should assume I cannot do it justice with words. Suffice it to say that it would break your heart to see her; and it would mend what was broken in the same moment; and you would be twice what you’d been before."
— Clive Barker (Galilee)
