There was a power outage at a department store yesterday. Twenty people were trapped on the escalators Picture Quote #1

Think the Romans must have aggravated one another very much, with their noses. Perhaps, they became the restless people they were, in consequence Picture Quote #1

What is sad for women of my generation is that they weren't supposed to work if they had families. What were they going to do when the children are grown - watch the raindrops coming down the window pane? Picture Quote #1

In my case, I was born to parents who were very young, and I don't think they were entirely ready to have a child. My dad was going to college and working two or three jobs at the same time, and my mum was working and going to school Picture Quote #1

My mother's sympathies were strongly with the Union. She knew that war was bound to come, but so confident was she in the strength of the Federal Government that she devoutly believed that the struggle could not last longer than six months at the utmost Picture Quote #1

I loved old black and white movies, especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs, the music, the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world Picture Quote #1

Now, having had this experience, I can't say really what they were looking for. I don't know their minds. But every time I see a reality show, it seems that the most entertaining parts on other reality shows are when they make their guests look foolish Picture Quote #1

My parents were the same in the pulpit as they were at home. I think that's where a lot of preachers' kids get off base sometimes. Because they don't see the same things at both places Picture Quote #1

The death of my father is probably the biggest thing that I ever faced. Daddy and I were best friends Picture Quote #1

As I wrote, I found that Aibileen had some things to say that really weren't in her character. She was older, soft spoken, and she started showing some attitude Picture Quote #1
