When you question it, it answers you only to the extent that you do the work of thinking an analysis yourself (About Yourself Quotes)

All the really exciting things possible during the course of a lifetime require a little more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap (About Yourself Quotes)

That iis why I think you are a liar (About Yourself Quotes)

I want you to give yourself to me, body and soul (About Yourself Quotes)

To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery (About Yourself Quotes)
