“Like tired dogs they stand there,
because they use up all their strength
in remaining upright in one's memory.”

“Tis slight, not strength, that gives the greatest lift.”

“Welcomed when it comes as long it finds me upright and strong”

“Just as women's bodies are softer than men's, so their understanding is sharper.”
