Its not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel were not good enough, that we must live up to someone elses standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am. – Elle Macpherson
I feel beautiful when Im at peace with myself. When Im serene, when Im a good person, when Ive been considerate of others. – Elle Macpherson
But I do know focusing on the exterior doesnt make me happy. If I want peace and serenity, it wont be reached by getting thinner or fatter. – Elle Macpherson

The alluring influences of bibliophilism, or book-loving, have silently crept into thousands of homes, whether beautiful or humble; for the library is properly regarded as one of the most important features of home as well as mental equipment. – Henry H. Harper, Book-Lovers, Bibliomaniacs and Book Clubs, 1904
