I read this quote somewhere, and it really spoke volumes of truth and inspiration to me. I stumbled upon it at a time when I wasn't feeling very confident about myself, but from the time I read it, I don't burden myself with senseless insecurities anymore. \n\nIt's from a rather unexpected person, but, credit must be given where credit is due:\n\n"People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves."\nSalma Hayek

On September 20, 1934, at Rome’s Clinica Regina Margherita, Romilda Villani welcomed her daughter Sofia Scicolone into the world. Fourteen years later, Sofia would dominate beauty pageants, and begin working toward her dream of becoming an actress. She would eventually change the spelling of her name to Sophia, and experiment with the last name Lazzaro before settling on Loren. She would go on to accept acting awards from all over the globe, and become the first and only woman to win a Best Actress for a foreign film at the Oscars in America. But on this day, in the hospital’s charity ward for unmarried women, Sophia was just another child born into poverty. \n\nSadly, Sophia’s father, Riccardo Scicolone, repeatedly refused to marry Romilda. However, he did sign an affidavit that confirmed his relationship to Sophia and gave her his last name. As a single mother, Romilda struggled to support her new daughter. Shortly after Sophia’s birth, Romilda had been given a medicine that inadvertently caused her to stop lactating. Then Sophia developed a condition in which she was no longer able to drink cow’s milk. At one point the landlord suggested Romilda abandon Sophia. “She’s all skin and bones. Just let her die,” the woman told Romilda. “No one will blame you.” With her daughter near death, Romilda left Rome and returned home to Pozzuoli, Italy. Though already struggling to put food on the table, Sophia’s grandmother, Luisa, managed to scrape together enough money for a wet nurse, in effect saving her granddaughter’s life. \n\nThis was not the case several years later, when the Sophia’s sister Maria was born. Perhaps attempting to avoid additional child support, Riccardo refused to sign a paternity document. Without her father’s name, Maria experienced overwhelming pain and embarrassment. She was even unable to attend school, because during that time in Italy, children were prohibited from taking exams if they could not put a “proper” name on them. It was not until more than a decade after Maria’s birth, as Sophia received her first sizeable paycheck for her performance in the Adia, that Riccardo had a proposition. He offered to sign Maria’s papers for one million lire (approximately $1,500), the exact amount Sophia had just earned. Though she had hoped to purchase other items the family needed, putting an end to Maria’s suffering was more important. Without hesitation, Sophia gave the entire paycheck to Riccardo. \n\nIn 1940, as WWII escalated, the harbor and munitions plant in Pozzuoli made it a frequent bomb target. Every night residents carried mattresses and blankets to a train tunnel, which served as bomb shelter. During one raid, as Sophia ran to the shelter, shrapnel wounded her in the chin. She was six-years-old. \n\nAfter enduring months of bombing, Pozzuoli’s residents were forced to evacuate. With nowhere to go, the family walked to Naples and begged distant relatives to take them in. Romilda, Sophia and Maria were given a room upstairs from which a small balcony extended. With Maria sick in bed and her mother out searching for food, Sophia sat alone on the balcony and became witness to the horrors of war. She saw young men forced from their homes to fight in the German army, starvation, murder and random acts of violence on the innocent citizens.\n\nAfter the war, Sophia and her family returned to Pozzuoli. In an effort to earn money, they opened their living room as a sort of pub for the American GI’s who were stationed nearby. Grandmother Luisa sold homemade cherry liquor, while Romilda played the piano and Maria sang. Sophia washed dishes and served the soldiers, but she was too timid to perform. Word of the friendly people and comfortable atmosphere spread quickly, and the venture was a success. Often time sympathetic soldiers would bring extra rations to share with the family. One GI who frequented the house, Charles Dial, helped Sofia gain medical attention for the scari

Well, it's really difficult for me to explain what I know about UG Krishnamurthi.  For some reason he attracts the attention of the masses, even though he claims to have no philosophy of life or religion, and prefers to be alone.  He goes against the norm, against popular beliefs, against all that most of us have stood for.  But, even in doing so his biography topped the best seller chart in India for over nine months.  For some reason, I don't find any of this impressive or unusual.  For, it's usually men or women of this caliber that find the biggest following whether they want it or not.

Madeleine Albright and Gloria Steinem \n\nAlbright--yes, she is a brilliant woman who is strongly reminescent of Margaret Thatcher.  She is straightforward and understands foreign policy intimately.  She also is charming and witty.\n\nSteinem--yes, she too is brilliant, has a fascinating past, but despite her feminist leanings is feminine and an excellent role model.  Besides just think of all the votes she'd get when the "bunny" pics are printed.

She is a RABID feminist who believes that all men want to exercise power over women. The boy was bitten by a RABID (infected with the disease of rabies) dog.\n\nPoublic opinion plays a vital and healthy role in the political REALM. Galileo won distinction in the REALM of astronomy.\n\nSo much of what's on TV is pure DROSS.\n\nHe is poorly REMUNERATEd for all the hard work he does.\n\nI admire her STOIC patience. I saw passengers staring out in STOIC resignation.
