We owe tribute to those who lived in a different era and could not, would not, dare not, be as open and free as Olivia permits and enourages us to be. Many of these women loved less openly, but step-by-step helped to pave the way to greater power for, and acceptance of, women as both significant individual contributors and partners in each others lives. This is a quote from one woman I would have so enjoyed meeting and knowing:

"Hick darling...I couldn't say je t'aime et je t'adore as I longed to do, but always remember I am saying it, that I go to sleep thinking of you."

~ Eleanor Roosevelt, in a letter to Lorena Hickok

My favorite celebrity quote is from Paul Newman. When asked if he had ever cheated on Joanne Woodward, he gave that sly little smile of his and said -

"Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home?"

I love the recent ad on Logo tv that quotes from the Hollywood Squares television show. One guest's response to the following makes me smile every time I hear it:

"Male bees are called drones. What are non-reproductive female bees called?"

She thought for a moment, repeated "non-reproductive female bees?" and then very sweetly but with just slight quizzical hesitation answered:

"Les-bees?" :)

On this, what would have been my parents' 50th anniversary, here's one I have seen written in a few different ways and credited to several different authors, but the gist is:
"don't marry the person you think you can live with, marry the person you can't live without"

and, since we lost my dad several years ago, I imagine that my mother would agree with this one:
"a happy marraige is a long conversation that always seems too short" Andre Maurois

Have a great weekend everyone, Bev

Jen and Kim,
Great quotes both, I often used the latter while I was working with at-risk youth.
My other favorite was that from that old, crazy lookin' guy with the wild hair, Albert something.. "Imagination is more importnat than knowledge"

I have two favorite quotes.

The first one is more of a motto:

"Don't postpone joy"

The second is in my signature line. Living in Texas I have to say it to myself quite often...
