My early reviews were so bad that I decided I didn't want to read them again.

Love is quite violent. It is so painful at times, so devastating. And there is nothing worse or better. We find the highs and lows equally unbearable. But then again, the absence of them is more so.

People do strange things sometimes, when they feel hopeless.

I don't just want to catch some guy and have a bunch of kids. I want to make something of myself.

I don't need a man to be happy. I had a great one , that was good enough. I don't expect to find another one like him, and why settle for anything less? I'm going ot be perfectly content alone.--Marya

.. All you know is your parents telling you that you're not deserving, you're not worthy, and no one will ever want you. Believe me, tapes like that play so loud, you can't hear anything else. Even when it's clear otherwise.

No man can take your freedom from you. They can limit your mobility, but that's about all they can do
