Tears are great peace-makers.
Attacking a belief can be the first step toward embracing it.
Fail, and your friends feel superior. Succeed, and they feel resentful.
The family is on its way out; couples go next; then no more keeping cats or parrots.
The ravaged face in the mirror hides the enchanting youth that is the real me.
Joy goes as deep as sorrow, but leaves less of itself behind.
