'Don't believe everything you think.' - American Bumper Sticker
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” - Dr. Seuss
“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
- Oscar Wilde
"The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity."
-Dorothy Parker
"You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw. Our whole guise is like giving a sign to the world to think of us in a certain way but there's a point between what you want people to know about you and what you can't help people knowing about you."
- Diane Arbus

"Victoria's voice through writing (sfgirlbybay) and view of the world through her digi cam have such a universally, appealing and creative feel. Her blog up-lifts me and her photos make me smile (and also make me ask her lots of annoying questions like a little sister would) AND this girl finds the COOLEST photos on flickr"
