Anne Shirley: You know something, Diana? We are rich. We have sixteen years to our credit, and we both have wonderful imaginations. We should be as happy as queens.

Anne Shirley: Look at that. You couldn’t enjoy its loveliness more if you had ropes of diamonds.
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, screenplay by Kevin Sullivan and

The sari’s radiance, vigor and variety, produced by a single straight length of cloth, should give us in the West pause and make us think about the zipper, the dart and the shoulder pad. – Naveen Patnaik
The sari is the most elegant dress for women bar none.

I’ll be the way I was when I first met him. Then maybe he’ll like me again. I was always sweet, at first. Oh, it’s so easy to be sweet to people before you love them. – from the story A Telephone Call by Dorothy Parker
We pine and opine about true love but very few of us have ever really experienced it.

What is the victory of a cat on a hot tin roof?
Just staying on it I guess, as long as she can.

She walks in beauty,
Like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Scarf – an article of dress of a light and decorative character.
I have a penchant for beautiful scarves! My favorite silk patterned ones were purchased at flea markets in Lisbon, Santa Fe, and San Francisco. I drape them around my shoulders mostly but have never had the panache to wear them in the dramatic way shown above.
I did, however, buy a crimson suede-fringed scarf on vacation in Morocco that seemed very chic, but once I got home it looked more like Davy Crockett meets Little Red Riding Hood and I never wore it.
