• On those nights, the words were for me alone. They came up unbidden from my heart. They spilled over my tongue and spilled out my mouth.

I was a sour misanthrope, a beetling hypocrite, a conjurer's daughter, a mad and murderous king.

And your pretension cannot deceive the woman, because she has known your love and the pretension cannot become the substitute. The only way is to separate - in friendship, because you have given each other so much.

  Rajneesh

It really is that simple.
