rules about what it should be.

beauty is that is it like being born rich and getting poorer.

It occurs to me that both Natalie Wood and Isadora Duncan
had tragic endings; Isadora strangled by her scarf in the wheels of a beloved
Bugatti and Natalie Wood who drowned whilst on her husband’s boat. The reason
for her death was ‘undetermined.’

I like all these quotes, Pat, but the Joan Collins one did make me laugh!
Sx
The Lily Tomlin one put a smile on my face :)
I like Lily Tomlin's quote....lol
I always enjoy your "quote" posts.
Very interesting and entertaining.
cheers, parsnip
These are all terrific quotes.....I also am always so moved when I think of one of the other things Anne Frank said: "IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING, I STILL BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE ARE REALLY GOOD AT HEART..."
That one always brings me to tears----that she could feel this way tells us what a pure soul she was.....
I knew Natalie Wood, just a little bit. She was a very dear friend of a great friend of mine who died of cancer, at 43---a wonderful actress named Norma Crane. Both Natalie and her husband R.J.Wagner, took care of all of Norma's medical bills during her long illness---they were there for her through the worst of times and when she died they made sure she had a truly lovely funeral and a beautiful resting place. In fact, Norma and Natalie are buried within a few feet of one another. As to her death----it was terribly terribly sad---and though they are not sure exactly what happened on their boat that night, (named "THE SPLENDOR",after the film she made---'Splendor In The Grass')
I personally will never believe it was foul play on the part of her husband Robert Wagner. He loved her so very very much. They found one another once again, and fell in love all over again--giving them both a second chance with one another, which was so very precious to them both.
Did you ever see Vanessa Redgrave's movie where she played Isadora? One of the GREAT Performances of ALL Time! A truly Stunning performance to my way of thinking.
Love all the quotes, and many I haven't heard before, so thanks!
"I don’t think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains." Thank you, Anne Frank.
