You only cry for help if you believe there is help to cry for.

Confidence is at the root of so many attractive qualities - a sense of humor, a sense of style, a willingness to be who you are no matter what anyone else might think or say.

A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs.
