When you say something in a wrong group - it will never be right, so you can not say anything wrong, when you don't belong to a group.

Frequently people just vote for the party out of power because they're disappointed or angry at what is happening at the moment.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I believe a unique core self is born into every human being the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.

Image
If you love your work, I'm not sure you have hobbies. I try to say no to things that other people could do and only say yes to things that only I could do.
Gloria Steinem
