从一个无名小女生到叱咤整个流行乐坛的天后级人物，几十年来，麦当娜在西方流行世界屹立不倒。她时而展露其圣洁，难以侵犯的女性光辉，时而又摆出其特力独行、哗众取宠的撒旦做派。不管你承认与否，她已经成为一个象征符号。麦当娜，究竟是天使还是魔鬼？我们或许可以从她的只言片语中了解一二。

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally,without expecting anything in return.To just give.That takes courage,because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.
勇敢就是无条件地去爱一个人，不期待任何回报，只是付出。那需要勇气，因为我们不想被彻底打败，或者任由他人伤害。
