E. Christian Brugger
Now when really smart people insist that we're ridiculous in believing in an immortal soul, we can tend to doubt ourselves.

Let's remember the mother, not the wife

Carolyn Moynihan
Beauty fades, and sexiness. Mediocre acting talent is no longer overlooked and the world begins to snigger as an ageing star agrees to keep living in the limelight. If only it had withheld its applause much earlier, when she failed so patently in the most important role of all, that of a married woman, it would have helped her. Perhaps it was all a desperate bid for true love, but a much less married, less sexy Elizabeth Taylor would be so much easier to admire.
