“[...] there is a kind of joy In casting hope away, in losing joy, In ceasing all resistance, in at last Opening one's arms to the eternal flames.”
― William Butler Yeats

“I treat myself like I would my daughter. I brush her hair, wash her laundry, tuck her in goodnight. Most importantly, I feed her. I do not punish her. I do not berate her, leave tears staining her face. I do not leave her alone. I know she deserves more. I know I deserve more.”
― Michelle K.

“Five years have passed; five summers, with the length
Of live long winters! and again I hear
These waters, rolling from their mountain-springs
With a sweet inland murmur.”
― William Wordsworth, Lyrical Ballads

“wisely considering that Complaints, Tears, Swoonings, and all the Extrava-gancies which Women make use of in such Cases have little Prevalence over a Heart inclined to rove and only serve to render those who practice them
more contemptible by robbing them of that Beauty which alone can bring back the fugitive Love”
― Eliza Haywood
