Today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

No amount of makeup can mask an ugly heart.

That's why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me.

The fact is, there really is no such thing as 'normal' - everybody's different, and that is the essence of their beauty

Today I see beauty everywhere I go, in every face I see, in every single soul, and sometimes even in myself.

Perfection is boring. If a face doesn't have mistakes, it's nothing.

Glamour is not self-conscious; it’s not trying really hard. It’s just expressing your own truth. I think that’s what the essence of glamour really is—expressing your uniqueness.

Beauty might bring happiness, but happiness always brings beauty.

For me, beauty is synonymous with uniqueness . . . perfection is mundane, boring, and emotionless. It is by celebrating the differences in others that we can begin to accept our own individuality.

Holy the supernatural extra brilliant intelligent kindness of the soul!

People love the electric rake. You just hit it or whatever you want to do. You can't play 'Swanee River' on it. You have to just make terrible noise. Occasionally, it will make a sound like a note.

When you do hit the gym, you should push yourself. This is what makes fitness phenomena so interesting.

The first genocide of the 21st century was against you, the Armenian people.

For me, politeness is a sine qua non of civilization.

One cannot live on potatoes alone. It is said that one wants bread with potatoes. And when there's no bread, a Jew takes his stick, and goes through the village in search of business.

When the snake decided to go straight, he didn't get anywhere.

Simple smile, a cheerful hello or a word of encouragement It's amazing what an impact you will have.
