Rich women live at such a distance from life that very often they never see their money? the Queen, they say, for instance, never carries a purse. Elizabeth Bowen
. . . She was obsessed with clothes and status, how she never gave a thought to being responsible for her own actions, or even what she might do for anyone else-making her the ultimate example of all that was wrong and misguided about young women today. Candace Bushnell
Mort Sahl quote: "The bravest thing that men do is love women."
The bravest thing that men do is love women. Mort Sahl
Many nights he lay there dreaming awake of secret cafs in Mont Marte, where ivory women delved in romantic mysteries with diplomats and soldiers of fortune, while orchestras played Hungarian waltzes and the air was thick and exotic with intrigue and moonlight and adventure. F. Scott Fitzgerald

Some women have a weakness for shoes... I can go barefoot if necessary. I have a weakness for books. Oprah Winfrey
