Instead of writing it wrong six times and then writing it right, I think it wrong six times and then write it right the seventh time.
jobs dignity
It is not true that there is dignity in all work. Some jobs are definitely better than others.
war years bosnia
It's very disheartening to encounter a fearful twenty-one year old. They haven't earned the right to be that afraid. It's not like we're living in war-torn Bosnia or something.
believe years alcohol
I believe that at birth everyone gets the capacity for a certain amount of drugs and alcohol, everyone the same, you can do it all between 15 and 19 like I did, or you can stretch it out over 70 years.

The downfall of most diets is that they restrict your intake of food.

Raisins are a thing that lasts, they come in small boxes, and you always feel like eating raisins, even at six in the morning. A raisin is always an appropriate snack.
