About This Quote

The words of Oscar Wilde, “When I surprise myself at the mirror I am not frightened because I think I am ugly or beautiful. It is because I discover I am of a different nature. After not having seen myself for a while I almost forget I am human, I forget my past and I am as free from end and awareness as something merely alive.” We all have many things to be grateful for. One of them is that we are beautiful in our own way.

We each have different talents, different strengths, and different weaknesses that make us unique. We all have something to contribute to the world.
