Quotes from Margaret Cho

I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose.

—Margaret Cho

Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself, and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for being praised.

—Margaret Cho

Just because you are blind, and unable to see my beauty doesn't mean it does not exist.

—Margaret Cho

Thankfully, beauty is easier to remove than apply, and a swipe of demaquillage in the right direction and you are you once again.

—Margaret Cho

I love drugs, but I hate hangovers, and the hatred of the hangover wins by a landslide every time.

—Margaret Cho

If we have the opportunity to be generous with our hearts, ourselves, we have no idea of the depth and breadth of love's reach.

—Margaret Cho

Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever.

—Margaret Cho

Maybe I wanted to hear it so badly that my ears betrayed my mind in order to secure my heart.

—Margaret Cho

People drain me, even the closest of friends, and I find loneliness to be the best state in the union to live in.

—Margaret Cho

Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.

—Margaret Cho

Privacy and security are those things you give up when you show the world what makes you extraordinary.

—Margaret Cho

Success is meaningless if you can't sleep at night because of harsh things said, petty secrets sharpened against hard and stony regret, just waiting to be plunged into the soft underbelly of a 'friendship.

—Margaret Cho

When people think the world of you, be careful with them.

—Margaret Cho

Try to love someone who you want to hate, because they are just like you, somewhere inside, in a way you may never expect, in a way that resounds so deeply within you that you cannot believe it.

—Margaret Cho

Try to put your happiness before anyone else's, because you may never have done so in your entire life, if you really think about it, if you are really honest with yourself.

—Margaret Cho
