Quotes

Life was not easy, nor was it happy, but she did not expect life to be easy, and, if it was not happy, that was woman's lot. It was a man's world, and she accepted it as such. The man owned the property, and the woman managed it. The man took credit for the management, and the woman praised his cleverness. The man roared like a bull when a splinter was in his finger, and the woman muffled the moans of childbirth, lest she disturb him. Men were rough of speech and often drunk. Women ignored the lapses of speech and put the drunkards to bed without bitter words. Men were rude and outspoken, women were always kind, gracious and forgiving. - By Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind

There are a million rules for being a girl. There are a million things you have to do to get through each day. High school has things that can trip you up, ruin you, people say one thing and mean another, and you have to know all the rules, you have to know what you can and can't do. - By Elizabeth Scott, The Unwritten Rule

It is wise to direct your anger towards problems -- not people - By to focus your energies on answers -- not excuses.

We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents. - By Bob Ross

I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in. - By Robert Louis Stevenson, Essays of Robert Louis Stevenson

He promised us that everything would be okay. I was a child, but I knew that everything would not be okay. That did not make my father a liar. It made him my father. - By Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
