“You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That’s how I’ve done it. There’s no other way.”

—	Elizabeth Taylor

Oh, Liz

I don’t entirely approve of some of the things I have done, or am, or have been. But I’m me. God knows, I’m me.

Elizabeth Taylor February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011

This is so surprising to me. I was watching one of her movies the other day and it made me wonder what kind of health she was in. There's an essay written about her by Truman Capote that I really like that I'll probably share later.
