When these experiences come...believe in them. They reflect your true nature.

The evils of mortals are manifold; nowhere is trouble of the same wing seen.
Whoever is new to power is always harsh.
Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.
