The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she
combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she
lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.

Its probably not just by chance that Im alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me,
unless hes terribly strong. And if hes stronger than I, Im the one who cant live with him. Im
neither smart nor stupid, but I dont think Im a run-of-the-mill person. Ive been in business without
being a businesswoman, Ive loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men Ive
loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman
who caused them concern and uneasiness. Ive done my best, in regard to people and to life, without
precepts, but with a taste for justice.
