A thought for the day

on Jul 19, 2024

A thought for the day: I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose. -- American comedian Margaret Cho
