Sex deepens love and love deepens sex, so physical intimacy transforms everything and playing with it is playing with fire.
Merle ShainThere are really only two ways to approach life - as victim or as gallant fighter - and you must decide if you want to act or react, deal your own cards or play with a stacked deck. And if you don't decide which way to play with life, it always plays with you.
Merle ShainThere are many pages in the book, many kinds of lives we each can live, many ways to be rich, and even more to be poor.
Merle ShainOur times are obsessed with finding fulfillment, so there are times when some people try too hard, and there are people who want to have the newest feelings just as there are those who want to have the latest model car. You can't play at love any more than you can be proud of your humility, or add water to your perfume and have it smell the same, but men and women both have been known to try.
