He turned to take one last look at the Old People’s Home that – until a few moments ago – he had thought would be his last residence on Earth, and then he told himself that he could die some other time, in some other place. The hundred-year-old man set off in his pee-slippers (so called because men of an advanced age rarely pee further than their shoes), first through a park and then alongside an open field where a market was occasionally held in the otherwise quiet provincial town. ↗

For me, a diva is not something that lives in the sky. It is a woman who lives on earth. It is a woman who suffers, is a woman who dreams, is woman who wants to struggle. If you ask me if I am a diva, I don't know; but I am a warrior. And the main quality of a diva warrior is not to be scared of life. Not to be scared of the difficulties. Whether you have support or not, whether you have money or not, you need to have spirit. ↗

A battle to the death—modern day gladiators, trading steel, blow for blow in a coliseum of ice at the top of the world. ↗
