The Princess Diarist
Quotes from the Book
Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked thru it.
I am the type of person that I complain about.
If ever I was in a plane that was going down, rather than screaming, crying and railing against the inevitable, I would look out the window, watch my death speeding toward me, and fully appreciate the final experience of my life.
