Nivea Quotes

So firm did Nivea's determination become that she wrote in her diary that she would give up marriage in order to devote herself completely to the struggle for women's suffrage. She was not aware that such a sacrifice would not be necessary, and that she would marry a man for love who would back her up in her political goals.

PART TWO Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive, and will come forth later, in uglier ways. —SIGMUND FREUD CHAPTER ONE Alicia Berenson’s Diary JULY 16 I never thought I’d be longing for rain. We’re into our fourth week of the heat wave, and it feels like an endurance test. Each day seems hotter than the last. It doesn’t feel like England. More like a foreign country—Greece or somewhere. I’m writing this on Hampstead Heath. The whole park is strewn with red-faced, semi-naked bodies, like a beach or a battlefield, on blankets or benches or spread out on the grass. I’m sitting under a tree, in the shade. It’s six o’clock, and it has started to cool down. The sun is low and red in a golden sky—the park looks different in this light—darker shadows, brighter colors. The grass looks like it’s on fire, flickering flames under my feet. I took off my shoes on my way here and walked barefoot. It reminded me of when I was little and I’d play outside. It reminded me of another summer, hot like this one—the summer Mum died—playing outside with Paul, cycling on our bikes through golden fields dotted with wild daisies, exploring abandoned houses and haunted orchards. In my memory that summer lasts forever. I remember Mum and those colorful tops she’d wear, with the yellow stringy straps, so flimsy and delicate—just like her. She was so thin, like a little bird. She would put on the radio and pick me up and dance me around to pop songs on the radio. I remember how she smelled of shampoo and cigarettes and Nivea hand cream, always with an undertone of vodka. How old was she then?

Tuo padre, sì… Ma quale interna pena fa tanto lunghe l’ore di Romeo? ROMEO - La pena di non posseder per sé la cosa che gliele farebbe brevi. ========== È la crudele legge dell’amore. Già le pene del mio pesano troppo sul mio cuore, e tu vuoi ch’esso trabocchi coll’aggiungervi il peso delle tue: giacché quest’affettuosa tua premura altro non fa che aggiunger nuova ambascia a quella che m’opprime, ch’è già troppa. L’amore è vaporosa nebbiolina formata dai sospiri; se si dissolve, è fuoco che sfavilla scintillando negli occhi degli amanti; s’è ostacolato, è un mare alimentato dalle lacrime degli stessi amanti. Che altro è più? Una follia segreta, un’acritudine che mozza il fiato, una dolcezza che ti tira su. ========== Oh, ch’ella insegna perfino alle torce come splendere di più viva luce! Par che sul buio volto della notte ella brilli come una gemma rara pendente dall’orecchio d’una Etiope. Bellezza troppo ricca per usarne, troppo cara e preziosa per la terra! Ella spicca fra queste sue compagne come spicca una nivea colomba in mezzo ad uno stormo di cornacchie. Finito questo ballo, osserverò dove s’andrà a posare e, toccando la sua, farò beata questa mia rozza mano… Ha mai amato il mio cuore finora?… Se dice sì, occhi miei, sbugiardatelo, perch’io non ho mai visto vera beltà prima di questa notte. ========== Codesti subitanei piacimenti hanno altrettanta subitanea fine, e come fuoco o polvere da sparo s’estinguono nel lor trionfo stesso, si consumano al loro primo bacio. Miele più dolce si fa più stucchevole proprio per l’eccessiva sua dolcezza, e toglie la sua voglia al primo assaggio. Perciò sii moderato nell’amare. L’amor che vuol durare fa così. Chi ha fretta arriva sempre troppo tardi, come chi s’incammina troppo adagio. ==========

Her own mother had slept with many men in her past before her death, and even though she really didn’t know who Nivea’s father was until after she’d been born and he’d taken the paternity test, her mother had never thought about giving her up for adoption or aborting her. Even

The relationship between her and Nivea had been really good and she had been forgiven, but there were still some days where it was hard for her to get past what she had done to her friend. “That was a real low blow, Natalia, but I guess since all you know how to do is give low blows, that should be expected,” Chey said, catching everyone off guard.

Chey had briefly spoken to Nivea, the one who was raising Von’s son, and who was also the woman that Von set up to be raped.

Nivea thought it was best that they got to talk first before the kids were brought in.

Simms had been locked up the last five years for being a co-conspirator and accessory to the rape of her then best friend, Nivea Davis. She was only 17 at the time of her conviction and she would have been out on her twenty-first birthday,

So many nights after God had touched her heart about what she had done to Nivea, Von lay in her bunk crying because she realized just how bad she had hurt that girl.

Things in life could hurt so bad at times, but she learned that there was purpose in the pain that we rarely saw. Nivea

Coco had been waiting for the day that she could serve Nivea’s stuck-up ass, and she’d finally gotten it.  “And

There were no police, there was no ambulance, Tanya and Nivea were still going at it, and Tyrell was still standing. Jah had never crossed the yard. The good of him danced victoriously on his shoulder.

Anima, sii come la montagna: che quando tutta la valle è un grande lago di viola e i tocchi delle campane vi affiorano come bianche ninfee di suono, lei sola, in alto, si tende ad un muto colloquio col sole. La fascia l'ombra sempre più da presso e pare, intorno alla nivea fronte, una capigliatura greve che la rovesci, che la trattenga dal balzare aerea verso il suo amore. Ma l'amore del sole appassionatamente la cinge d'uno splendore supremo, appassionatamente bacia con i suoi raggi le nubi che salgono da lei. Salgono libere, lente svincolate dall'ombra, sovrane al di là d'ogni tenebra, come pensieri dell'anima eterna verso l'eterna luce.

He led the USFL with 28 sacks for 199 yards lost (both professional football records), but also led in manic mayhem. Early on during training camp, Corker—nicknamed Sack Man—gathered the team in a circle and guided the Panthers in prayer. “He started praying like a Baptist black preacher,” said Dave Tipton, a defensive tackle, “and I thought, Wow, Corker must walk with the Lord.” Not quite. Blessed with the world’s largest penis, Corker never shied away from showing it off to fellow Panthers. “The biggest johnson in the USFL,” said Matt Braswell, the team’s center. “We had women reporters come into the locker room, and Corker would position himself so he was in full view of any females. He had this vat of Nivea skin cream, and he would just make sure to completely rub it and moisturize it.” Corker operated on a clock that required only two to three hours of sleep per night, and was powered by the dual fuels of alcohol and cocaine. He kept a gun in his car’s glove compartment, missed as many meetings as he attended, and proudly pasted his pay stubs to his locker, so that teammates could marvel at the money he was being docked. Once, Hebert drove with Corker from Pontiac to Detroit for a promotional appearance. It was snowing outside, the roads were slippery—“and Corker was driving, smoking one joint after another,” said Hebert. “We both walked in reeking of pot.” In a USFL urban legend that actually checks out, Corker was once found naked on the ice at Joe Louis Arena in the early-morning hours. He had passed out, and spent so much time on the cold surface that some of his skin had to be ripped off. “That,” said Bentley, “surprised none of us.
