Better Quote by Paul Nassif
“Everyone is taking selfies. Everyone's actually getting that - looking at themselves and they filter. Now if they do a little filtering, it's OK because they want to look like a better version of themself. Overdoing it though can be a little bit more of that dysmorphic issue where it's not a good thing.”

![“I use the iPhone now for information. But with selfies, I don't know what those people are doing. It's like they believe what they see is real, even with the [filters]. And God bless them! But to me, it's not a self-portrait, it's a reality project.” quote by Alex Katz](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fb6/alex-katz-25578_believe_i-use-the-iphone-now-for-information-but_1221292.jpg)
