In the notes he made for himself while the students were asking questions, Havel wrote “love and truth” above “ideology,” and then began to draw flowers.

WKRP in Cincinnati: Turkeys Away (1978)
How convenient too that Spielberg would pick San Diego. I’d like to see how that T-Rex would fare running around Compton where most of the residents are heavily armed. Then we’d have a much different ending: two and a half minutes of automatic weapons fire, followed by six months of neighborhood barbecues.

Last week’s lilies have bloomed in time for my birthday (2009) (Theresa Lighton) (via theresalighton)
I was the first female president of the General Dynamics Corporation, and I went out and bought my new fancy suits to wear to work and so on. And I’m at work on my very first day, and a lady at Nordstrom’s had showed me how to tie a scarf in a very unusual kind of way for my new suit. And I go to work and wear my suit, and I have my first day at work. And then I come back to work the next day, and I run into no fewer than a dozen women in the organization who have on scarves tied exactly like mine.

They put me in six-inch heels and a stars-and-stripes bikini. Sent me to Michael. He approved me. Then they put me in the scene under a waterfall. You got $500 extra if you were willing to get wet, and I was thrilled to get wet. I was still a child, but for those two days I was being treated like a grown woman. I felt like I should be in a bikini dancing under a waterfall: that is where I thought I belonged.
