She regretted nothing she had shared with her lover, nor was she ashamed of the fires that had changed her life just the opposite, she felt that they had tempered her, made her strong, given her pride in making decisions and paying the consequences for them.
Isabel Allende

I was born in the middle of World War II, the middle of the Holocaust I was born when there was no declaration of human rights, when feminism was not an issue, when children were working in factories. I mean, today's world is a better place!
