"Even my mother told me: 'You are a handsome woman, but you're not pretty. Pretty girls don't have those big bones.'"

There are some people whom we envy not because they are rich or handsome or successful, although they may be all or any of these, but because everything they are or do seems to be all of a piece, so that even if they wanted to they could not be or do otherwise.
