What a Day

Several notable women passed away today...

1. Louisa May Alcott died in 1888: "If Mr. Clemens cannot think of something better to tell our pure-minded lads and lasses, he had better stop writing for them."

2. Ayn Rand died in 1982: "When I die, I hope to go to Heaven, whatever the Hell that is."

3. Georgia O'Keefe died in 1986: "I don't very much enjoy looking at paintings in general. I know too much about them. I take them apart."

4. Pearl S. Buck died in 1973: "Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied."
