But alas! what poor Woman is ever taught that she should have a higher Design than to get her a Husband?

You should celebrate the end of a love affair as they celebrate death in New Orleans with songs laughter dancing and a lot of wine.

I was taught to confront things you can't avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you're trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don't last for ever makes them beautiful.

He who does not fear death cares naught for threats.

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
