There is no essential difference between sticking pins into a wax image of an enemy and burning candles in front of a wax image of the Virgin. You may think that both these practices are gross superstition, but you can hardly think that one is real and potent and deny reality and potency to the other.

Dion Fortune

It begins with absence and desire. It begins with blood and fear. It begins with a discovery of witches.

Deborah Harkness

Witches never existed, except in people’s minds. All there was in the olden days was women and some men who believed in herbal cures and in folklore and in the wish to fly. Witches? We’re all witches in one way or another. Witches was the invention of mankind, son. We’re all witches beneath the skin.

Ian Rankin

I knew I wanted to have a doll of myself on the cover. I thought, I wanna see myself as a Ken doll.

David Byrne

There is no need to change my image. I like my image, and the audience likes it, too. I am very comfortable with the kind of roles I do, and as I am not doing the same character or playing myself. I explore my characters; I don't brood over my broody image.

Randeep Hooda

Arca

Sometimes when looking through my pile of drawings, I find an image that... awakens in me a passionate desire to inhabit it, as though I were to feel more at home in it than in myself.

Jean Helion

I want to be as healthy as I possibly can be. I just want to make sure that I do everything to take care of myself. Like they say, charity begins at home. Love begins at home, too. So I want to do the best for me. I want to pamper myself and do the best for my body.

Kriti Kharbanda

I do myself up kind of like a doll. I have a doll collection and I look at their outfits and kind of imitate them.

Taylor Momsen

I considered myself most unfortunate because God had made me inhabit a female body in this world

Christine de Pizan

I don't know how I got such an image, but I am not a Casanova. It's an image that I wouldn't have liked for myself.

Arjun Kapoor

I know that I am more than my personality, my body, and my body image.

Oprah Winfrey

I have decided to stop dieting because it doesn't work for me and I am annoyed with myself for ever trying. I have decided to enjoy the body I have. I tell myself how lucky I am to have a body that functions so well.

Ruth Jones

I don't doll myself up for TV because I want people to accept me for who I am.

John Cena

I think that all women are witches, in the sense that a witch is a magical being. Don't be scared of witches, because we are good witches, and you should appreciate our magical power.
