Quote by Amy Poehler

“There's only, like, five perfectly symmetrical people in the world, and they're all movie stars, and they should be, because their faces are very pleasing to look at, but the rest of us are just a jangle of stuff, and the earlier you learn that you should focus on what you have and not obsess about what you don't have, the happier you will be.”

Which sounds like I spent a week at a meditation retreat, but it's genuinely how I feel.”
