Quotable Quotes

I came across the following two quotes today which I really like:
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are
tiny matters compared to what lies within us"
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
and
"You can take no credit for beauty at 16. But if you are
beautiful at 60, it will be your soul's own doing"
- Marie Carmichael Stopes
Hat tip for both of these to the Madison/Dove "Campaign for Real Beauty" which, incidentally, I think is an awesome concept, as it attacks unrealistic beauty ideals and the consequent lack of confidence women often have in their own bodies.
( I mean c'mon, not everyone can look like me, bwahaha. j/k :) )
"I am who I am, I'm healthy, I'll never be
a stick insect and I wouldn't want to either"
- Kate Winslet

Amen sister on those quotes! If we cannot reconcile the truth, then the rest is pointless. The truth follows us everywhere we go, it is not until we acknowledge it that it then guides our way forward.

I just thought this campaign was good - in the calendar none of the women are whhat you would really call fat, but the are not magazine model-like thin either - the point is they are healthy looking and happy with it, despite not meeting conventional "measurements"
