“Despotism isn't nearly as bad as it's cracked up to be.” — Arabella Weir Quote

“Despotism isn't nearly as bad as it's cracked up to be.”

“Society prizes a girl for being thin more than anything else she might bring to the table.”

“If, however, you have richer pursuits in mind and know that no woman should be judged by how she looks - that everything she brings to the party is more important than the size of her arse - then refuse to be sucked into the never ending whirligig of self-doubting, self-hating madness that is stop-start dieting and crazy new exercise regimes.”

“Phoebe Wolkind Ephron cracked wise like Dorothy Parker and looked like Katharine Hepburn.”

“I'm not a huge dancer onstage. In fact, I like not moving at all if I don't have to. But even just standing up for any given amount of time in 6-inch heels ends up leaving me feeling like I've been cracked in half like a rag doll after a few shows.”

“It's hard to know who you are until you're cracked open a little bit.”
