[edit] Quotations
- "We women don’t care too much about getting our pictures on money as long as we can get our hands on it."
- "We seldom stop to think how many peoples' lives are entwined with our own. It is a form of selfishness to imagine that every individual can operate on his own or can pull out of the general stream and not be missed."
