Until you destroy your body, you don't learn to appreciate it. Treat the body like a temple because the body is so beautiful. If and when you understand your body then you will respect it. The body is like a bud, until the sun rises it will not bloom, until it blooms it will not be beautiful or give perfume. So respect it, take care of it. ~Bikram Choudhury

But that's typical of me. "This is going to end in tears," I tell myself every time I balance a cup of coffee on the upholstered arm of the chair I'm sitting on. And then, lo and behold, the cup topples and even before it lands, I tell myself, "Told me so!" Not to spell out, or spill out, one of the metaphors of my life, but I always do the stupid thing and then I do it again. I never learn. ~Patricia Marx

Every great story seems to begin with a snake. ~Nicolas Cage
#quotes #nicolas-cage #stories

There was something frantic in their blooming, as if they knew that frost was near and then the bitter cold. They'd lived through all the heat and noise and stench of summertime, and now each widely opened flower was like a triumphant cry, "We will, we will make seed before we die." ~Harriette Simpson Arnow
#quotes #harriette-simpson-arnow

I think children learning to cook can be such a wonderful thing. It can help build confidence, make them feel good about themselves. It helped me build my ego and even start to get acceptance at school. I would bring things to class that I had cooked at home. ~Giada De Laurentiis
#quotes #giada-de-laurentiis #cooking #childhood

A good catchword can obscure analysis for fifty years. ~Wendell Willkie
#quotes #wendell-willkie #communication

The way life runs through everything, even the tiniest elements of nature; that makes me humble. It's the same humility that causes people at a certain time every day to get on their knees and put their foreheads on the ground in honor of something or someone. ~Michael J. Fox
#quotes #michael-j-fox #nature #life #humility

I feel lucky that I had my children late. Not that I would advise it in any shape or form. But I know friends who had children when they were young, struggled with feeling trapped. I can honestly say I have never once resented the fact that I could not go out because of my kids. ~Mariella Frostrup
