Favorite phrase: "We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."

Or maybe "iQue caballero!" in as flirty a voice as possible.

"Si j'étais quelqu'un, je rirais souvent"

It's from the poem "Si j'étais quelqu'un (comme les autres)" ("If I were someone (like the others)") by Nathalie Nechtschein, a writer who was born with Down's syndrome. She has this to write about herself:

"Je suis née trisomique 21. Moi, je dis que c'est une étiquette que les non-handicapés m'ont donnée. Et puis d'abord qu'est-ce que ça peut leur faire à eux si je le suis ? Ils nous ont attribué des noms : handicapés légers, profonds, débiles, arriérés et des tas d'autres préjugés. Moi, je me suis battue de toutes mes forces pour essayer de leur prouver qu'ils peuvent se tromper. Je n'ai jamais eu envie d'être un échec pour la société. J'ai envie de vivre comme tous les autres. Parfois, je trouve les soi-disant normaux bien plus handicapés que moi..."

Inspirational.

"Serit arbores quae alteri saeclo prosint." It's Latin for "One plants trees for the benefit of another age." (Often attributed to Cicero, though it was actually quoted by him from a lost work by Statius.)

Pigs are really insecure, but if you have sufficient trust in their abilities they can fly just fine by themselves. :)

Copycat.

it's a good phrase. It expesses an emotion (or lack thereof) that I have daily.
