“I’m madly in love, but I’m not madly in love and stupid.” -Gretchen Rossi
“Today I want you to ask yourself this one question: Why Not You? Why not you to do something for work that you love? Why not you to have a healthy body? Why not you to have a healthy love? Why not you to be, have, or do anything you have ever dreamed? We are so quick to think others are deserving over ourselves. The truth is that we are all deserving…SO WHY NOT YOU?!?” -Jillian...

“There are people in your life whom you unknowingly inspire simply be being you.”
Place your hand over your heart. Feel that? That’s called purpose. You’re alive for a reason. Make it count.
I’m not going to give up what’s best for me in order to be a “good” person for others.

The more often people talk behind your back, the more often you’re on their mind. Be proud. If your name is coming out of their mouth so often it must taste pretty sweet.
To the haters and people who disagree with what I do, you’ll never hold me back, bring me down or stop my shine. I’m motivated, positive, and inspired. Nothing you say will take that away from me.

It’s never about whether I’m the best-dressed man in the room. Instead it’s about comfort and the flow. That’s the only way to look good. -Pharrell Williams
You can even say that I hated myself at certain periods. I was too fat, or maybe too tall, or maybe just plain too ugly … you can say my definiteness stems from underlying feelings of insecurity and inferiority. I couldn’t conquer these feelings by acting indecisive. I found the only way to get the better of them was by adopting a forceful, concentrated drive. -Audrey Hepburn
[about her “comeback” in 1976] Whatever happens, the most important thing is growing old gracefully. And you can’t do that on the cover of a fan magazine. -Audrey Hepburn
I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people’s minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing. -Audrey Hepburn
Paul Varjak: You know what’s wrong with you, Miss Whoever-You-Are? You’re chicken, you’ve got no guts. You’re afraid to stick out your chin and say, “Okay, life’s a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that’s the only chance anybody’s got for real happiness.” You call yourself a free spirit, a wild thing, and...
Doc Golightly: I love you Lula Mae. Holly Golightly: I know you do, and that’s just the trouble. It’s the mistake you always made, Doc, trying to love a wild thing. You were always lugging home wild things. Once it was a hawk with a broken wing… and another time it was a full-grown wildcat with a broken leg. Remember? Doc Golightly: Lula Mae there’s something… ...
Paul Varjak: I love you. Holly Golightly: So what. Paul Varjak: So what? So plenty! I love you, you belong to me! Holly Golightly: [tearfully] No. People don’t belong to people. Paul Varjak: Of course they do! Holly Golightly: I’ll never let ANYBODY put me in a cage. Paul Varjak: I don’t want to put you in a cage, I want to love you!

In the future, it won’t matter what you have but what you can do. And that future is coming up awfully fast. -Buddy Ebsen
You get more negative reactions than positive reactions as you go through life, and the big lesson is nobody counts you out but yourself … I never have, I never will. -Buddy Ebsen (Hollywood actor who lived to 95)
Stockholm syndrome
what-a-twist:
God’s relationship with humanity boils down to this: Love me … or else.
“I’m not frightened by anyone’s perception of me.”
