No matter what a woman's appearance may be, it will be used to undermine what she is saying and taken to individualize - as her personal problem - observations she makes about the beauty myth in society.

There is a role and function for beauty in our time.

As a woman, we all want to feel attractive. We all want to feel that we're making the very best of ourselves so we can accept ourselves.

Being proud of who we are as people is more important than cutting into ourselves to create this false idea of beauty.

Beauty must appeal to the senses, must provide us with immediate enjoyment, must impress us or insinuate itself into us without any effort on our part.

The problem for all women is we're identified by how we look instead of by our heads and our hearts.

Beauty is now defined by your bones sticking out of your decolletage. For that to be the standard is really perilous for women.

Beauty is something we can affirm and intend to have more of.

Beauty is not skin-deep; it can be a means of self-affirmation, a true indicator of personality and confidence.

Women are so unforgiving of themselves. We don't recognize our own beauty because we're too busy comparing ourselves to other people.
