Benjamin Disraeli
We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains.
Ursula K. LeGuin

Wine is made to be drunk as women are made to be loved; profit by the freshness of youth or the splendor of maturity; do not await decrepitude.

He who loves not wine, women and song remains a fool his whole life long.
Martin Luther
