    Venerandam,
    In the Cretan’s phrase, with the golden crown, Aphrodite,

    Girdles and breast bands, thou with dark eyelids
    Bearing the golden bough of Argicida.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    ...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)

    When women go wrong, men go right after them.
    Harvey Thew, screenwriter, John Bright, screenwriter, and Lowell Sherman. Lady Lou (Mae West)
