Negative energies can't touch you if you are in a state of meditativeness.

I hate parties. I don't like big crowded things.

Since it doesn't cost a dime to dream, you'll never shortchange yourself when you stretch your imagination.

I'm not one who likes rehearsing too much.

Women are often under the impression that men are much more madly in love with them than they really are.
