13 WILD QUOTATIONS
FROM WILD WOMEN
FROM WILD WOMEN
Each year, for either my birthday or Christmas, my oldest friend gives me a page-a-day desk calendar filled with “Wild Words from Wild Women.” If one strikes my fancy, I tear it off, leave it on my desk for a while and, when I have collected 13, they magically become my TT!
1) “If you take too long in deciding what to do with your life, you’ll find you’ve done it.” Pamela Shaw
2) “A man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. A woman must do what he can’t.” Rhonda Hansome
3) “Love is or it ain’t. Thin love ain’t love at all.” Toni Morrison
4) “You don’t get ulcers from what you eat. You get them from what’s eating you.” Vicki Baum
5) “It is best to act with confidence, no matter how little right you have to it.” Lillian Hellman
6) “Your passion is waiting for your courage to catch up.” Marilyn Greist
7) “The way to a man’s heart may be through his stomach, but that’s only if you twist the blade and lift up.” Shelia Kay
8) “Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.” Marva Collins
9) “Self pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.” Maya Angelou
10) “She’s my best friend. She thinks I’m too thin, and I think she’s a natural blonde.” Carrie Snow
11) “My weight is always perfect for my height – which varies.” Nicole Hollander
12) “It takes 20 years of hard work to become an overnight sensation.” Diana Rankin
