Matsuo Bashō
“There is nothing you can see that is not a flower; there is nothing you can think that is not the moon.”
Matsuo Basho

Amy Bloom
“You are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. And you are beautiful.”
Amy Bloom

Erin Hanson
“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”
Erin Hanson

“And at the end of the day, your feet should be dirty, your hair messy and your eyes sparkling.”
Shanti

Marcus Aurelius
“Everything in any way beautiful has its beauty of itself, inherent and self-sufficient: praise is no part of it. At any rate, praise does not make anything better or worse. This applies even to the popular conception of beauty, as in material things or works of art. So does the truly beautiful need anything beyond itself? No more than law, no more than truth, no more than kindness or integrity. Which of these things derives its beauty from praise, or withers under criticism? Does an emerald lose its quality if it is not praised? And what of gold, ivory, purple, a lyre, a dagger, a flower, a bush?”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
