Imperfections Make You Unique.

Inspirational/Favorite quotes

I really like a good quote. I have a journal where i write and usually look at them to inspire me, make me think, or laugh. So I think it would be fun if we could list some of our favorite/inspirational quotes.
a couple of my favorites are:
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Let us not be like others who are asleep.

"I have self-esteem, which is pretty amazing, 'cause I'm somebody who wouldn't necessarily have a lot of self-esteem, as I am considered a "Minority". And if you are a woman,if you're a person of color,gay,lesbian,bisexual,transgender,person of size,if you're a person of intelligence, if you're a person of integrity, then you are considered a "Minority" in this world. And it's going to be really hard to find messages of self-love and support anywhere, especially women's and gay mens culture. It's all about how you're supposed to look a certain way,or else you're worthless.You know when you look in themirror and you think "Oh, I'm so fat.", "I'm so old.", "I'm so ugly."; Don't you know that's not your authentic self? But that is billions upon billions of dollars of advertising,magazines, movies, billboards,all geared to make you feel shitty about yourself, so that you will take your hard earned money, and spend it at the mall on some turn-a-round cream that doesn't turn around shit.When you don't have self-esteem, you will hesitate before you do anything in your life. You will hesitate to go for the job you really want to go for.You will hesitate to ask for a raise.You will hesitate to call yourself an American.You will hesitate to report a rape.You will hesitate to defend yourself when you are being discriminated against because of your race, your sexuality, your size,or your gender. You will hesitate to vote. You will hesitate to dream. For us to have self-esteem, is truly an act of revolution, and our revolution is long overdue.And I urge you all today, especially today, in these times of terrorism and chaos, to love yourself without reservation, and to love each other without restraint.Unless you're into leather, then by all means, use restraints" -Margaret Cho

"Anything you see in me is in you. If you want to see a vicious killer, that's who you'll see, do you understand that? If you see me as your brother, that's what I'll be. It all depends on how much love you have. I am you, and when you can admit that, you will be free. I am just a mirror."- Charles Manson

"I let them think what they want, because if they just care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them anyways"- Marilyn Monroe

"Parents and legislators love to blame people like us for corrupting the youth of this country, but the kids were corrupted long before we ever got to them."- Marilyn Manson; ▶ Reply to This

Most people would never think to use things he said as inpirational, because of his reputation obviously. But he really was a very intelligent man, which is what gave him the ability to be scary :); ▶ Reply to This
