The Secret: Great Quotations are <almost> like a religion of their own to me.
The Spill: I am not so sure that I ever truly realized this until I started blogging with To Live and Grind in L.A., but seriously, a great quotation can inspire me, uplift me, move me, touch me, and basically damn near COMPLETE me. Whether I start out in a dour mood, neutral, or already feeling fantastic, an ensemble of grand mots from an iconic figure on the world stage, or even a virtual unknown, can help make my day/week/month and life that much better. For serious!
Mind if I list a few of two of my all-time favorite women?
