“Vanessa wanted to be a ballerina. Dad had such hopes for her.... Corin was the academically brilliant one, and a fencer of Olympic standard.

Vanessa was the President of the United States, Corin was the British Prime Minister—and I was the royal dog.”
—Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)
“The field of the poor may yield much food, but it is swept away through injustice.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
