All identity labels are umbrella terms to some degree, but this term 'bisexual' is not only serviceable, but it is sufficient.

The more often we see the things around us - even the beautiful and wonderful things - the more they become invisible to us.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

Beauty is the oracle that speaks to us all. Luis Barragan

Beauty is the greatest seducer of man. Paulo Coelho

Taking joy in living is a woman's best cosmetic. Rosalind Russell

I'm very sensitive about the fact that there's not a lot of good work for women in cinema that also deals with strong characters.

That's one of my pet peeves, but beauty is subjective. Michelle Phan

We live in a quick-fix society where we need instant gratification for everything. Too fat? Get lipo-sucked. Stringy hair? Glue on extensions. Wrinkles and lines?

Goodness is beauty in the best estate. Christopher Marlowe

Iyanla Vanzant

In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree. Joyce Meyer
