To be beautiful means to be yourself.you don't need to be accepted by others. you need to accept yourself. when you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don't try to be a magnolia flower. if you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. true happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.
Beautiful Being Yourself Lying

Taking her hand he led her out into a broad stretch of hard sandy soil that the moon flooded with great splendor. they floated out like drifting moths under the rich hazy light, and as the fantastic symphony wept and exulted and wavered and despaired, ardita's last sense of reality dropped away, and she abandonded her imagination to the dreamy summer scents of tropial flowers and the infinite starry spaces overhead, feeling that if she opened her eyes it would be to find herself dancing with a ghost in a land created by her own fantasy.
