“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
― Roald Dahl, The Twits

“When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.”
― Maya Angelou

“O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams."

― William Shakespeare, Hamlet
