There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. 

I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness.

 I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples

 off a tree or standing in the rain.  ~ Audrey Hepburn

Sense the blessings of the earth in the perfect arc of a 

ripe tangerine, the taste of warm, fresh bread, the 

circling flight of birds, the lavender color of the 

sky shining in a late afternoon rain puddle, the 

million times we pass other beings in our cars 

and shops and out among the trees without 

crashing, conflict, or harm.

~ Jack Kornfield

Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly 

cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you.  ~ Langston Hughes

The three great elemental sounds in nature are 

the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a 

primeval wood, and the sound of outer 

ocean on a beach. ~ Henry Besto
