"Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away."― Barbara de Angelis Topic(s): Women Tags: moments, womenMore From Barbara de Angelis"The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It’s a choice you make – not just on your wedding day, but over and over again – and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.""Men aren’t the way they are because they want to drive women crazy; they’ve been trained to be that way for thousands of years. And that training makes it very difficult for men to be intimate.""If you aren’t good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you’ll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren’t even giving to yourself."More In Women"I do write a lot from personal experience, but I also embellish a bit."― Miranda Lambert"Poetry: the best words in the best order."― Samuel Taylor Coleridge"But the true feminist deals out of a lesbian consciousness whether or not she ever sleeps with women."― Audre Lorde
