I will not be the queen who bows to the demands of men. Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain. A strong woman is one who knows her worth and never settles for anything less. In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.

All strange and terrible events are welcome, but comforts we despise. My honor was not yielded, but conquered merely. I am a woman; what I say and do is sacred. In my solitude, you haunt me with reviled memories. I am closer to the gods than you can ever dream, fall upon your knees!
