Crime Of Passion

Writer James Baldwin once shared, "Love can never be wrong. Love is the only thing that is right in this wretched world of ours. Sometimes, all you really need is a dose of love in order to gain happiness in your life. Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."

Actress Lucille Ball once spoke on loving yourself, offering, "Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world."
