The wooden hairbrush has two practical uses, the bristle side to be used on her silken locks, and the harsh, wooden side to be used on her shapely seat of learning
I believe there is a hero in each of us. The best books are the ones that remind us of who we already are and empower us to embrace our own story.

Sadness is one of the best universities in life! Though bad things take good things from us, they do give us useful things as well!
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us."--Ralph Waldo Emerson
I use the language I use to my friends. They wouldn't believe me if I used some high-flown literary language. I want them to believe me.
