“If you told me to write a love song tonight, I'd have a lot of trouble. But if you tell me to write a love song about a girl with a red dress who goes into a bar and is on her fifth martini and is falling off her chair, that's a lot easier, and it makes me free to say anything I want.” IfsWantWritingSongFallGirlTroubleEasierRedDressesBarsChairsTonightSay AnythingFifthMartiniFalling Off Author:Stephen Sondheim
“It's my greatest success. Women did not vote in Italy until 1946. A good friend and I put together a group of women to protest this. I was very young, just a girl. We went to the Viminale [home of the Ministry of the Interior] and spoke to the chair of the ministry board. Thanks to our initiative, we got the bureaucracy rolling on giving women the right to vote. I have to thank my father for this. He was in Geneva at the League of Nations, and women voted there. He thought it was absurd that women didn't vote in his country yet.” GivingCountryHomeTogetherYoungGirlFatherNationsGroupsVoteAbsurdThanksLeagueBoardsChairsProtestSpokesInitiativeMinistryRollingGood FriendBureaucracyInteriorsRight To VoteGenevaGreatest SuccessJust A GirlLeague Of Nations Author:Giovanna Cau

“I'm very clumsy, so there's been a lot of times I've tripped in front of girls I'm in love with, or spilled food all over myself. My friends and I were the class clowns in high school, so one day we were showing off at our seats and I fell off my chair! I had to get stitches, and I had a bloody lip. I was trying so hard to be a cool class clown!” TryingHardSchoolGirlClassFrontsOne DayHigh SchoolMy FriendsLipsSeatsChairsBloodyClownShowing OffClumsyStitchesTrying So Hard Author:Prince Royce
“Have you noticed how the Republicans and Democrats try to copy each other at their conventions. Like at the Democratic convention John Kerry's daughter told a story about how he once gave CPR to her hamster. At the Republican convention the Bush girls are going to tell a story about how when their hamster was bad, their dad built them a little electric chair.” TryingLittlesStoriesGirlDadRepublicanDaughterBuiltDemocraticDemocratChairsCopiesConventionsElectricJohn KerryHamstersElectric ChairCpr Author:Jay Leno
