“You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches.”
— Dita Von Teese
Widely attributed to Von Teese, first tweeted from her account in September 2010. Became one of the most shared quotes on self-acceptance online.
I spent my twenties performing in clubs where men yelled and women rolled their eyes. I dyed my hair wrong for the decade, wore corsets nobody understood. I could have tried to be what everyone wanted. I chose to be the peach. Some people still hate peaches. That is not your problem. Be the thing you are, all the way, and let the ones who get it find you.
