“There's enough ugliness in the world without having to feel guilty about the beauty.”

“...I fear that some of us understand just enough about the gospel to feel guilty--guilty that we are not measuring up to some undefinable standard--but not enough about the Atonement to feel the peace and strength, the power and mercy it affords us.”

“Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.”

“I've learned that I don't have to live in sadness - there's not some cruel requirement that I should feel guilty about being happy.”

“All in the world know the beauty of the beautiful, and in doing this they have (the idea of) what ugliness is;”

“There's enough sorrow in the world, isn't there, without trying to invent it.”
