“I certainly used to wish that I was skinny, lighter-skinned, with long, pretty hair. But only because I used to get made fun of for being the absolute opposite. I didn't see all of that stuff as the American Dream. I just wanted to look normal. Now that I'm older, I really do feel like I am a beautiful girl.” FeelsLooksLongMadeDreamWantedBeautifulUsedGirlFunWishStuffHairNormalOppositesAbsolutesAmerican DreamSkinnyLightersBeautiful Girl Author:Gabourey Sidibe

“Being stick skinny to the extent where you can see your bones through your skin is not a good look. You don't need to be that to be beautiful or to be perfect or to fit in. Who you are is exactly who you should be. You can't let other people dictate your life or how you feel about yourself because then you're not living.” PeopleNeedsFeelsShouldLooksBeautifulPerfectFitSkinsWho You AreSticksBonesAbout YourselfBe YouLooking GoodSkinnyHow You Feel Author:Rumer Willis
“There were times when I asked myself whether I was being principled or simply a coward.... I was wrapped in the cocoon of tennis early in life, mainly by blacks like my most powerful mentor, Dr. Robert Walter Johnson of Lynchburg, Virginia. They insisted that I be unfailingly polite on the court, unfalteringly calm and detached, so that whites could never accuse me of meanness. I learned well. I look at photographs of the skinny, frail, little black boy that I was in the early 1950s, and I see that I was my tennis racquet and my tennis racquet was me. It was my rod and my staff.” WellsLooksLittlesBlackPowerfulBoysCourtPhotographCalmTennisMost PowerfulCowardMentorStaffDrsPoliteSkinnyJohnsonVirginiaDetachedMeannessFrailCocoonsPrincipledBlack Boy Author:Arthur Ashe
“I think the best thing a person can do is to read through the Gospels in the Bible and really look at Jesus, because if a person does this, they will realize that the Jesus they learned about in Sunday school or the Jesus they hear jokes about or the skinny, Gandhi Jesus that exists in their imaginations isn't anything like the real Jesus at all.” IfsThinkingLooksPersonsDoeRealSchoolJesusCan DoRealizingImaginationJokesBest ThingsSundaySkinnySunday School Book:Searching for God Knows What Source: Searching for God Knows What
