• I think the hardest person to love is yourself
  I mean-
  You carry your flaws like burdens
  And you feel them on your skin
  The words you shouldn't have said
  Still echo in your head
  So you keep quiet
  Your mistakes, like monsters
  They haunt you
  And you put them to sleep every night
  The words you should've said
  Still echo in your head
  I bet you'd give yourself a chance
  If you were someone else instead

• I use the Clarisonic electronic skin cleansing system. It's great for removing excess oil and make-up and leaves my face feeling really smooth and clean.

• God sees the inner spirit stripped of flesh, skin, and all debris. For his own mind only touches the spirit that he has allowed to flow from himself into our bodies. And if you can act the same way, you will rid yourself of all suffering. For surely if you are not preoccupied with the body that encloses you, you will not trouble yourself about clothes, houses, fame, and other showy trappings.

  Marcus Aurelius

• In acute diseases the physician must conduct his inquiries in the following way. First he must examine the face of the patient, and see whether it is like the faces of healthy people, and especially whether it is like its usual self. Such likeness will be the best sign, and the greatest unlikeness will be the most dangerous sign. The latter will be as follows. Nose sharp, eyes hollow, temples sunken, ears cold and contracted with their lobes turned outwards, the skin about the face hard and tense and parched, the colour of the face as a whole being yellow or black.

  Hippocrates
