    “When a man sees a beautiful woman it is natural for him to feel energy in his body, which he usually interprets as sexual desire.  Rather than dispersing this energy in mental fantasy, a man should learn to circulate his heightened energy.  He should breathe fully, circulating the energy fully throughout his body.  He should treat his heightened energy as a gift which could heal and rejuvenate his body, and, through his service, heal the world.  Through these means, his desire is converted into fullness of heart.  His lust is converted into service.  His desire is not converted by denying sexual attraction, but by enjoying it fully, circulating it through his body (without allowing it to stagnate as mental fantasy), and returning it to the world, from his heart.” ~ David Deida, The Way of the Superior Man

      “Have you ever seen a rose that is not perfect?  What more do you want?  Every rose in its uniqueness is perfect.  Dancing in the wind, in the rain, in the sun… can’t you see the tremendous beauty, the absolute joy?  A small ordinary rose radiates the hidden splendor of existence.” ~ Osho, Love, Freedom, Alonenss: The Koan of Relationships

        “The greatest beauty tip: For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his / her hands through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed, never throw out anyone.” ~ Audrey Hepburn
