Fairy tales were important to me. Aren't they for any kid? My sister says I spent a good five years of my youth convinced I would grow up to be a princess.
If you have a smothering parent, the effect it can apparently have on a child is to give them, in equal doses, a sense of too much self-esteem, because they are mummy's little princess or prince, and low self-esteem. It affects future relationships.
I am completely fascinated by the differences and comparisons between real life and fairy tales because we're raised as little girls to think that we're a princess and that Prince Charming is going to sweep us off our feet.
I certainly know that I would not be able to survive if it were not for the fact that I am being upheld by the prayers of so many people.
For goodness sake, will they hear, will white people hear what we are trying to say? Please, all we are asking you to do is to recognize that we are humans, too.
Niger is not an isolated island of desperation. It lies within a sea of problems across Africa - particularly the 'forgotten emergencies' in poor countries or regions with little strategic or material appeal.
True peace must be anchored in justice and an unwavering commitment to universal rights for all humans, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender, national origin or any other identity attribute.

Moro: Ah, you're awake. I was hoping you'd cry out in your sleep, then I would have bitten your head off to silence you.
Gonza: [seeing Moro's pups run away] That was it? They weren't so big. Lady Eboshi: They're just pups. Wait 'til you see their mother.
Toki: I wish the wolves *had* eaten you! Then maybe I could've found a real husband.
Jigo: What do you say we give 'em a little demonstration of how fast we can run, huh?
Princess Ann: I've never been alone with a man before, even with my dress on. With my dress off, it's MOST unusual.
