| f644ecf | I believe confidence is all about being positive concerning what you can do -- and not worrying over what you can't do. A confident person is open to learning, because she knows that her confidence allows her to walk through life's doorways, eager to discover what waits on the other side. She knows that every new unknown is a chance to learn more about herself and unleash her abilities. | Joyce Meyer | ||

And they constitute the entrance point to a life cycle of a sexuality that should be held sacred. | Naomi Wolf | ||

| 24ba7e8 | The history of a city was like the history of a family--there is closeness and even affection, but death eventually separates everyone from each other.
