Quote by Joyce Banda
I got married at 22 and remained in an abusive marriage for 10 yea

I got married at 22 and remained in an abusive marriage for 10 years. I made up my mind that that was never going to happen to me again. I made a brave step to walk out in a society when you didnt walk out of an abusive marriage. It was mental and physical abuse. – Joyce Banda

Here, with whitened hair, desires failing, strength ebbing out of him, with the sun gone down and with only the serenity and the calm warning of the evening star left to him, he drank to Life, to all it had been, to what it was, to what it would be. Hurrah! – Sean OCasey
