“You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t feed you… Beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume, it was something I just had to be. You can’t rely on how you look to sustain you, what is fundamentally beautiful, is compassion—for yourself and for those around you. That kind of beauty inflames the heart and enchants the soul.”

“It’s up to you to be responsible for how you feel if you’re not happy. Your happiness lies in your hands. You can’t rely on a man to make you happy or complete you. That starts with you.”
