I haven't changed much, over the years. I use less adjectives, now, and have a kinder heart, perhaps.

In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of.

You have to change your life if you’re not happy, and wake up if things aren’t going the way you want.

Infinite Patience brings Immediate Results.
