Altogether, Olympia thinks the sight of herself satisfactory, but not beautiful: a smile is missing, a certain light about the eyes. For how very different a woman will look when she has happiness, Olympia knows, when her beauty emanates from a sense of well-being or from knowing herself to be greatly loved. Even a plain woman will attract the eye if she is happy, while the most elaborately coiffed and bejeweled woman in a room, if she cannot summon contentment, will seem to be merely decorative.

Life, we learn too late, is in the living, the tissue of every day and hour.

Stephen Leacock

It is the false shame of fools to try to conceal wounds that have not healed.

Horace

There are these and other great causes that we were elected overwhelmingly to carry forward in November of 1972. And what we were elected to do, we are going to do, and let others wallow in Watergate, we are going to do our job.

Richard Milhous Nixon

Clearly, once the student is no longer a student the possibilities of relationship are enlarged.
