You are so right on! Did you see the movie, "Bee," when they said in the very beginning,

"According to all the known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. It's wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway, because the bee doesn't care what humans think is impossible."

Thanks for a GREAT Hub!

Beautiful quotes on beauty. Thanks for sharing. Plus LOVE THE ROSE FLOWER. My very favorite flower. Keep up the good writing.

I love how they put "Don't like your body image" ads right after all those beautiful quotes. No one understands anymore...the only thing you should be exercising for is your insides, no matter what your body turns out like. Your body is material, and when you die, nothing will remain but your soul.
