Quotes

  • "Beauty is not long hair, skinny legs, tanned skin, or perfect teeth. Believe me. Beauty is the face of who cried and now smiles, beauty is the scar on your knee since you fell when you were a kid, beauty is the circles when love doesn't let you sleep, beauty is the expression on the face when the alarm rings in the morning, it's the melted makeup when you have a shower, it's the laughter when you make a joke you're the only one who can understand, beauty is meeting his gaze when you see him, it's when you cry for all you paranoias, beauty is the lines marked by time. Beauty is what we feel in the inside which also shows outside us." - Laura Vieira de Oliveira
  • "Life is like a camera, focus on the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot." - Unknown
  • "I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination." - Jimmy Dean
