Oh, it was delicious to have someone to keep secrets with. If I'd had a sister or a brother closer in age, I guessed that's what it would be like.

What matters, notwithstanding this typology, is that the art of government is always characterized by the essential continuity of one type with the other, and of second type with the third. ↗

As a result one part of you may want to heal while another resists change.” Courage to Heal Workbook by Laura Davis ↗
