If you can make this happen, I’ll follow you.  (Blanche Wiesen Cook Quotes) And even when success comes, as I am sure it will, bear in mind that there are more quiet and enviable joys than to be among the most sought after women at a ball  (Blanche Wiesen Cook Quotes) Women who love women, who choose women to nurture and support and to create a living environment in which to work creatively and independently, are lesbians  (Blanche Wiesen Cook Quotes)
