Like Me Quotes - Page 32

Once you open the lid and look inside, everyone's the same.

Why don't people like me? Didn't I have a cat and what is that smell?'

You just have to do it.

• We can't all be stars; we can't all be leaders. We are all God's creatures, living life, and we have that God light in us and we're supposed to let it shine.

And they're smarter than most of us that are out there showing our asses.
