"Fashion is what you adopt when you don’t know who you are."

- Friedrich Nietzsche
Indeed. Beauty is beauty - It has to do something to be qualified as anything else.
"God is a concept by which we measure our pain."
- John Lennon
"You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."
- Steve Jobs
“The most important thing you can do is do a lot of work.”
"The truth will set you free but first it will piss you off"
- Gloria Steinem
"Don’t think, just feel."
- Star Wars
"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain."
- Jim Morrison
“I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”
Oh Marilyn. Thank you.
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
- Marilyn (again)
"I can’t go back to yesterday, because I was a different person then."
- Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland)
