I feel beautiful without makeup on, but when I do put makeup on, it just gives me this extra pop.

If you want it, and the more you keep hearing you can’t have it, you just go and get it

I have 100 percent Bronx pride like it’s a country like I AM the Bronx.

I don’t know how to drive.

I don’t care about anyone not liking me, you b**thes barely like yourselves.

I don’t want your punk ass man, I’m too tough

Willpower is a myth. The problem with trying to use willpower to achieve and sustain a behavioral change is that it is fueled by emotion. And as we all know, our emotions are, at best, fickle. They come and go. When your emotions start running down — and they will — even your best-laid plans will fall flat.

When people treat you mean, you dislike them for that, but not because of their person, who they are. I was born and raised in a segregated society, but when I left there, I had nobody I disliked other than the people that’d mistreated me, and that only lasted for as long as they were mistreating me.

Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he was up all night, was seated at the breakfast table.

A problem is a chance for you to do your best.

No one gossips about other people’s secret virtues.

I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Would you believe me if I said you were three shades short of all my favorite hues and that I’ve been trying for years to pick words from my garden throat in attempts to explain to you all the things I can’t explain. Or what if I said I have nothing to say other than I love you in the simplest of ways.

The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance.

You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.

A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.

We’ll love you just the way you are if you’re perfect.

Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.

You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.
