It quite often happens that the old man is subject to the delusion of a great moral renewal and rebirth, and from this experience he passes judgments on the work and course of his life, as if he had only now become clear-sighted; and yet the inspiration behind this feeling of well-being and these confident judgments is not wisdom, but weariness.

-- Frederich Nietzsche

fashionable

in solidarity, originally uploaded by McBeth.

I have a full, rich respect for fashion. I love its whimsy, its humor, its charm and its rewards. I love its vagaries and its demands. I love what it does for women. But I know, with all my heart, that no woman should follow it blindly.

-- Loretta Young

I am beautiful.

no matter what they say, originally uploaded by McBeth.

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly its hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful
In every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down

So, don't you bring me down today

To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone
Left the puzzles undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful
No matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful
In every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down

So, don't you bring me down today

No matter what we do
No matter what we say
We're the song inside the tune,
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go,
The sun will always shine
And tomorrow we might wake on the other side

Cause we are beautiful
No matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, no
We are beautiful
In every single way

Yes, words can't bring us down today

-- Christina Aguielara
