“Get
Off The Scale!
You
are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and
success, is immeasurable. Day after day, countless people across the globe get
on a scale in search of validation of beauty and social acceptance.
Get
off the scale! I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your
eyes are. I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your hair
looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. I have yet to see a scale
that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and contagious smile.
Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can admire you for your
perseverance when challenged in life.
It’s
true, the scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship
with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force,
possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scale more power than it has
earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life. You
are beautiful!”

were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being)

“For
beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror
which
we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so,

it serenely disdains to destroy us.
Every
angel is terrible.”

“The
death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the

“I'm
tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep
enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?”
