Marilyn Monroe
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Henry Ward Beecher
HopeSmiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'...
Alfred Lord Tennyson
It's never nice to lose someone close to you; unfortunately, life goes on, and we have to make peace with it and move on.
