Quote of the Day - My Antonia

I wonder how many women (or men) agree with this one? ;) I still remember then USC president Steven Sample talking about Willa Cather during our leadership class. He would read all of the work of one author before moving to the next--and if memory serves me well, Cather was one of the first for him.

Men are all right for friends, but as soon as you marry them they turn into cranky old fathers, even the wild ones. They begin to tell you what's sensible and what's foolish, and want you to stick at home all the time. I prefer to be foolish when I feel like it, and be accountable to nobody.
