And you also respect him less when he shows any weakness. Furthermore, when you ask him to pick you up at the airport, and he tells you he can't do it because he's busy, it's only when you love him that you hate him. —Judith Viorst More about this quote Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email

Anthony, and it doesn't end until every government in the world guarantees equal opportunity, equal pay for equal work, and a woman's right to control her own reproduction.
