I have an idea that the phrase 'weaker sex' was coined by some woman to disarm the man she was preparing to overwhelm.
My mother was a disciplinarian. She believed that when young girls start to go out with young boys, they get married.
It is disheartening when you read an interview with an actress, and it starts by describing what she is wearing.
I admired Margaret Thatcher - while abhorring much of what she offered - because she was so clearly a leader of huge substance. Blair was the dismal opposite.
Nature has no principles. She makes no distinction between good and evil.

It was said of old Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, that she never puts dots over her I s, to save ink.
My mother and father had so many ups and downs and stayed with each other and helped each other. My mother took in ironing and she was a waitress. My father was working in the factory and he did people's tax returns.

My first CD that I had was the Ying Yang Twinz, and my grandma bought it for me. Honestly, I think my grandma got it from a thrift store or something. She just got it for me. It was in downtown Philadelphia. And I would listen to it. I liked it. None of my friends did, though, but I liked it.
