Anon.

Doing charity work is always cool. It's always a good thing.

Virginia Woolf

You'll find truth in your looking glass, not on the tongues of men.

Cheryl Hines

There is an important difference between love and friendship. While the former delights in extremes and opposites, the latter demands equality.
