Aye soft lad, an excellent quote, some more to behold:

"There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old 
days of heroes and villains. the people you can bravo or hiss. There 
was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot 
touch." 
Bette Davis (1908 - 1989), The Lonely Life, 1962

"I can't think of any sorrow in the world that a hot bath wouldn't 
help, just a little bit. "
Susan Glasee, The Visioning, 1911 

"When you give each other everything, it becomes an even trade. Each 
wins all. "
Lois McMaster Bujold, A Civil Campaign, 1999

"Take chances, make mistakes. That's how you grow. Pain nourishes your 
courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave."
Mary Tyler Moore (1936 - )
