Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower and draws all good things towards you.

Luckless is the country in which the symbols of procreation are the objects of shame, while the agents of destruction are honored! And yet you call that member your pudendum, or shameful part, as if there were anything more glorious than creating life, or anything more atrocious than taking it away.

Savinien Cyrano De Bergerac

I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.

The good thing about a self-help book is that if you misunderstand something then it won't mock you.
