Mongol General: What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

From Conan the Barbarian one of my all time favorite movies and one of my all time favorite quotes....
Or in some cases, the lamentations of their men...

Valeria: All the gods, they cannot sever us. If I were dead and you were still fighting for life, I'd come back from the darkness. Back from the pit of hell to fight at your side.

When a man becomes familiar with his goddess, she quickly sinks into a woman.


Author: Joseph Addison


And, of course, the same can be said of a woman who becomes familiar with her god....

"In the midst of winter, I finally learned that in me there is an invincible summer."

"In bouncing back you prove to yourself and everyone around you that you are stronger than whatever pushed you down."

"Behind nearly ever good woman...you'll find a man who has let her down."

"Do not spoil what you have by wanting what you have not; remember that what you have now was once among the things you only wished for."

"I am not what I ought to be,
Not what I want to be,
Not what I am going to be,
But I am thankful that
I am better than I used to be."
