Helen's favorite quotations
"To me, disobedience is a great revolution. It does not mean saying absolute no in every situation. It simply means deciding whether to do it or not, whether it is beneficial to do it or not. It is taking the responsibility on yourself." - OSHO
"What interests me is character. I’ve always been attracted to faces with personality, strength and a unique quality. That is beauty” - François Nars
