Random quote of the day:

“It doesn’t actually matter if we are aging naturally, or resorting to surgical assistance. We experience brutal criticism. The dialogue is constructed so that our bodies are a source of speculation, ridicule, and invalidation, as if they belong to others—and in my case, to the actual public.”

—Ashley Judd, “Ashley Judd Slaps Media in the Face for Speculation Over Her ‘Puffy’ Appearance,” The Daily Beast, April 9, 2012

Random quote of the day:

 

“Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

—Marie Curie to a reporter, quoted in Living Adventures in Science by Henry Thomas and Dana Lee Thomas

(Funny story: As she was entering a vacation home in the south of France, the reporter mistook her for a housemaid and offered her money to dish the dirt on the Curies. Madame Curie apparently dressed quite plainly.)
