OEH how I do love this post, I love gathering good inspirational quotes by people I admire
Here come some of my favorites...
"I could never live there. They are obsessed with youth and beauty even more than us. There is this thing in America where actresses reach 40 and go mad. The film industry wants all these young people. They also like a different sort of woman (to me). I will never be skinny. I love to eat. Who cares? I am natural." Monica Bellucci
"Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful." Sophia Loren
"Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical." Sophia Loren
"I've never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don't understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now." Sophia Loren
"If you haven't cried, your eyes can't be beautiful." Sophia Loren
"There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age." Sophia Loren
"Everything you see I owe to spaghetti." Sophia Loren
"I was blessed with a sense of my own destiny. I have never sold myself short. I have never judged myself by other people's standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself." Sophia Loren
"Being beautiful can never hurt, but you have to have more. You have to sparkle, you have to be fun, you have to make your brain work if you have one." Sophia Loren
To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body. Mahatma Gandhi
When I was old enough to realize all meat was killed, I saw it as an irrational way of using our power, to take a weaker thing and mutilate it. It was like the way bullies would take control of younger kids in the schoolyard. River Phoenix
If you could see or feel the suffering you wouldn't think twice. Give back life. Don't eat meat. Kim Basinger
People get offended by animal rights campaigns. It's ludicrous. It's not as bad as mass animal death in a factory. Richard Gere
The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human body, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." Thomas Edison
"I can only say that whatever my life and work have been, I'm not envious of anyone, and that is my biggest satisfaction." Roman Polanski
"You have to show violence the way it is. If you don't show it realistically, then that's immoral and harmful. If you don't upset people, then that's obscenity." Roman Polanski
