"I never have thought I was beautiful..." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“Storms make trees take deeper roots.”

“I'm pretty sure in my older years, I'll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.”

“I'd love to develop and star in my own children's show, write children's books, do children's albums, movies, DVDs, etc.”

“Self worth cannot be verfied by others”

“I was always the smallest guy on the pitch, that's never affected me, I'm used to it.”

“Don't despair, not even over the fact that you don't despair.”

“Everyone wants to understand art. Why not try to understand the song of a bird? Why does one love the night, flowers, everything around one, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting people have to understand. If only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only a trifling bit of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world, though we can't explain them. People who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree.”

“The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.”

“We are immersed in beauty, but our eyes have no clear vision.”
