Quotes by C. JoyBell C.

If you swim effortlessly in the deep oceans, ride the waves to and from the shore, if you can breathe under water and dine on the deep treasures of the seas; mark my words, those who dwell on the rocks carrying nets will try to reel you into their catch. The last thing they want is for you to thrive in your habitat because they stand in their atmosphere where they beg and gasp for some air.

Peace is the number one beautiful ornament you can wear, I really believe that. They say you should always wear a smile, but I dont believe that you should always wear a smile, seriously, youre going to look stupid! But peace, you should always carry peace within you, its the most beautifying thing you could ever have or do. Peace makes your heart beautiful and it makes you look beautiful, too. You want to have perfect physical posture when you stand, sit, and walk, and peace is the perfect posture of the soul, really. Try perfect posture outside as well as inside. Peace creates grace and grace gives peace.

Never waste any amount of time doing anything important when there is a sunset outside that you should be sitting under!

If you walk on sunlight, bathe in moonlight, breathe in a golden air and exhale a Midas touch; mark my words, those who exist in the shadows will try to pull you into the darkness with them. The last thing that they want is for you to see the wonder of your life because they cant see theirs.

Inside every woman, is a crazy girl. And we all know what Im talking about. That part of you that is entangled with insecurities, fears, and absolute insanity! The art of femininity lies in the molding, pounding, and defeating of that crazy girl on a daily basis! Look at any woman, and youre looking at a woman fighting a daily battle, wielding her weapons in war, every day! I have said it before and Ill say it again: it is never easy being a woman! And if we could only pound that crazy, insecure girl out of ourselves, it would make such the difference!

My spirit is healthy, yes. But I tell you, my flesh is healthy too. I am enlightened and free, but I am also lustful and carnal.

University can teach you skill and give you opportunity, but it cant teach you sense, nor give you understanding. Sense and understanding are produced within ones soul.

You can see the whole entire world in the eyes of a person who knows how to simply stand there and take all of it into him but then you can look into the eyes of someone else and the whole entire world goes away and all thats left is you.

I find no importance in showing others that I am happy; its not important to me that they know or think that I am happy but what is important to me is that I am happy. I am interested in being happy, not in making others think or know that I am.

I believe in going with the flow. I dont believe in fighting against the flow. You ride on your river and you go with the tides and the flow. But it has to be your river, not someone elses. Everyone has their own river, and you dont need to swim,float,sail on theirs, but you need to be in your own river and you need to go with it. And I dont believe in fighting the wind. You go and you fly with your wind. Let everyone else catch their own gusts of wind and let them fly with their own gusts of wind, and you go and you fly with yours.

Why do we always begin to think about people when they die? I think we should think about people while theyre still alive! That way, they can know that were thinking about them! I always tell people when Im thinking about them, or that I thought about them, or that I have been thinking about them and it almost always scares them away, but so what, I am practicing the art of life and if that is frightening to them then maybe they need to start living while theyre still alive!

Life is not compassionate towards victims. The trick is not to see yourself as one. Its never too late! I know Ive felt like the victim in various situations in my life, but, its never too late for me to realize that its my responsibility to stand on victorious ground and know that whatever it is Im experiencing or going through, those are just the clouds rolling by while I stand here on the top of this mountain! This mountain called Victory! The clouds will come and the clouds will go, but the truth is that Im high up here on this mountaintop that reaches into the sky! I am a victor. I didnt climb up the mountain, I was born on top of it!

When I was in Piazza di Spagna, in Rome, I watched (along with others) how many locals came to drink water from the fountain there. The people beside me said to each other Oh my goodness, how disgusting, people just drink water from anywhere, while the whole time, I was thinking Oh my goodness, how wonderful, people can drink water from anywhere. We can be in the exact same place, looking at the exact same thing, but see that thing in a completely different way. You can go around the world, and go to all the beautiful places, but never be happy, because happiness is something that you bring inside of you, it is not where you are or what you are looking at, but it is how you are and how you look at.

What if you could pick one day of your life, and everything would stop changing, every day would be similar and comparable to that one day, youd always have the same people with you? If you could do that, would you do it? Would you pick that day and make that choice? We crave for things to stop changing, we wish that things would never change. But if we got what we wanted, there are so many things that are better, that we would never, ever know about. Sure, things would stay the same as that one wonderful day, but then there would be nothing else out there, ever. So can you remember the very first day when everything really did begin to change? Is there a thing that can remind you? Mine is a blue rose, and thats when everything began to change because thats the day I began to believe in things I never believed in before; the day I found three blue roses. Think about your first day of change, can you remember all the new heights youve soared since that day? All the new people? All the better things and times? Would you throw all of that time away? I wouldnt. Instead, I want to finally accept all the things that I couldnt change, which led to me being right here, right now. Maybe we all carry around inside us one day we wish we could keep forever, something we wished never did change. Its time to let go of that day, and soar.

Anger is an essential part of being human. People are taught to deny themselves anger, and in this, they are actually opening themselves up to hate. The more you deny yourself the freedom to be angry, the more you will hate. Let yourself be angry, and hate will disintegrate, and when hate disintegrates, forgiveness prevails! The more you deny that you are angry, in attempts to be holy the more inhuman you will become, and the more inhuman you will become, the harder it will be to forgive.

The only thing that will ever make me fall in love is: if I fall in love.

Its not very easy to grow up into a woman. We are always taught, almost bombarded, with ideals of what we should be at every age in our lives: This is what you should wear at age twenty, That is what you must act like at age twenty-five, This is what you should be doing when you are seventeen. But amidst all the many voices that bark all these orders and set all of these ideals for girls today, there lacks the voice of assurance. There is no comfort and assurance. I want to be able to say, that there are four things admirable for a woman to be, at any age! Whether you are four or forty-four or nineteen! Its always wonderful to be elegant, its always fashionable to have grace, its always glamorous to be brave, and its always important to own a delectable perfume! Yes, wearing a beautiful fragrance is in style at any age!

How could you love us being together? he asked me We are nothing alike and we are not meant for each other and we drive each other crazy, you love that? How can you love that? So I told him I know that were not meant for each other, that we drive each other crazy, and that we are so different. But thats us. Thats what we have; a wild nonsense. We are not good together, but together we are bad for each other. I love us together this way just like this. Because even if its no good, its what we have! Its us.

I dont have a diary, I dont write things into a diary. I imprint myself into the sky and when the sunlight shines brightly, I can stand under the suns rays and everything I have imprinted of myself into the sky, I will begin to see again, feel again, remember. And when the wind begins to blow, it blows the details over my face, and I remember everything I left in the sky and see new things being born. I am unwritten.

A clown on a throne is still a clown. A king in rags is still a king.
