“Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that as well.”
Naya Rivera

“I don't trust people who claim to like everyone, because, really, how is that possible? If that is true, then you must not have any standards. If you care about your life, then there are going to be certain people you don't want in it.”
Naya Rivera, Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up

“Success is not defined by what the people around you want. It is based on what you want for yourself.”
Naya Rivera, Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up
