The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.”

#25 Leonardo da Vinci
”Tears come from the heart and not from the brain.”
#26 Dita Von Teese
”Some days are just bad days, that’s all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness, and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day, that’s just the way it is!”
