worrying about others Quotes

“It’s people who claim that they’re good ... that you have to be wary of. ”

“‘He’ll drag you down, Amanda, but right now you’re too young to understand that.’”

“Don’t you study about other folks’s business till you take care of your own.”

“So instead of trying to fit a mold- size, color, boyfriend or career path- find out who you are and what is your true voice in this world.

And if they don’t like what they see, they can simply look away.”
