Attitude Quote by Camille Paglia
““I don't feel less because I'm in the presence of a beautiful person. I don't go, oh, I'll never be that beautiful! What a ridiculous attitude to take! …When men look at sports, when they look at football, they don't go, oh, I'll never be that fast!, I'll never be that strong!””
