 "More than convention was operating when women dropped their maiden names and assumed the names of their husbands, since according to (early American and European) common-law doctrine, a man and a woman became a single legal person upon marriage, and, as Blackstone opined for every country lawyer in those hundreds of midwestern villages, that person was the husband." (italics mine)

a poem written by Audrey Hepburn, when asked to share her beauty tips. It was read at her funeral years later.
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things,
must be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;
one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

"In my heart, I think a woman has two choices: either she's a feminist or a masochist."
