Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application - practice. What you practice is what you manifest Picture Quote #1

A woman’s body works as if it knew something she didn’t, and does not have her best interests at heart. If you need to look your best it will deliver you a pimple; if you don’t want it to, your period will start early; if you want a baby badly your body refuses to give you one; if you are content in your life, lo, you are pregnant Picture Quote #1

Marriage is a very difficult relationship for nearly everyone and I’m sure you shouldn’t do it if you want a quiet little easy life Picture Quote #1

The prophets of doom, in my experience, are generally ignored and usually right Picture Quote #1

Never defend yourself; agree with your critics, it takes the wind out of their sails Picture Quote #1

Fiction stretches our sensibilities and our understanding, as mere information never can Picture Quote #1

By and large, nothing is as bad as you fear, or as good as you hope Picture Quote #1

Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away Picture Quote #1

Memory is so selective; wishful thinking presses it into service all the time Picture Quote #1

The peculiar need to write is increased, it seems, rather than allayed with practice Picture Quote #1
