Roald Dahl: the key to being Beautiful.
The key to beauty? Maitri.
Skip the crazy-pricey-trendy clothes, the plastic surgery. Dress smartly and be yourself…the light and charm in our eyes and heart will make us beautiful. And we don’t need to fight aging. Just like yourself, more and more.

Another vaguely-relephant bonus:
Shel Silverstein (reminds me of me, in Junior High):

Love it.
Me too.
Me three! Roald Dahl is amazing. & Silverstein too. It's not about being all shiny and flawless…I actually find that quite boring.

I love Roald Dahl. I grew up reading his work, and now I read it to my kids.
This kinda reminds me of that Jack Black movie, Shallow Hal.
[...] {Dickens knew maitri. And perhaps inspired Dahl as well?} [...]
I had that haircut once.
[...] Freshly-pressed, camera-ready and finely-tuned gets boring. I’d rather someone who’s a little off-balance, like in those moments where you wave at someone and it turns out they’re waving at someone else.I love all the rumpled hair and un-tucked, out-of-breath moments. Those moments when we fall apart a little at the seams and laugh too hard or sing off key—those are where we’re beautiful. [...]
[...] All the cosmetics in the world are no substitute for cultivating beauty on the inside. [...]
While I read this, Silvio Berlusconi came into my mind, especially during the first part. I don`t understand why
Love it!
