More From Anna Quindlen
- "I will never understand people who think that the way to show their righteous opposition to sexual freedom is to write letters full of filthy words."
- "I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves."
- "After all those years as a woman hearing ‘not thin enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough, not this enough, not that enough,’ almost overnight I woke up one morning and thought, ‘I’m enough.’"
