I think the best thing I can do is to be a distraction. A husband lives and breathes his work all day long. If he comes home to more table thumping, how can the poor man ever relax? | Best, Home, Marriage, Work | 101Now, I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it - but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together. So now, he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man. | | 102I don't understand it. Jack will spend any amount of money to buy votes but he balks at investing a thousand dollars in a beautiful painting. | Art, Money | 103Whenever I was upset by something in the papers, Jack always told me to be more tolerant, like a horse flicking away flies in the summer. | | 104If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much. | Parenting | 105I'll be a wife and mother first, then First Lady. | | 106A camel makes an elephant feel like a jet plane. | | 107Even though people may be well known, they hold in their hearts the emotions of a simple person for the moments that are the most important of those we know on earth: birth, marriage and death. | Death, Marriage | 108I want to live my life, not record it. | Life | 109Sex is a bad thing because it rumples the clothes. | | 110The first time you marry for love, the second for money, and the third for companionship. | Marriage, Money, Time | 111There are many little ways to enlarge your child's world. Love of books is the best of all. | Best | 112An Editor becomes kind of your mother. You expect love and encouragement from an Editor. | | 113The children have been a wonderful gift to me, and I'm thankful to have once again seen our world through their eyes. They restore my faith in the family's future. | Faith, Family, Future, Thankful | 114One must not let oneself be overwhelmed by sadness. | Sad | 115I am a woman above everything else. | | 116The only routine with me is no routine at all. | | 117There are two kinds of women, those who want power in the world and those who want power in bed. | Power, Women | 118I want minimum information given with maximum politeness. | | 119Being a reporter seems a ticket out to the world. | | 120I always wanted to be some kind of writer or newspaper reporter. But after college... I did other things. | | 121He didn't even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights. it had to be some silly little Communist. | | 122I don't think there are any men who are faithful to their wives. | | 123What is sad for women of my generation is that they weren't supposed to work if they had families. What were they going to do when the children are grown - watch the raindrops coming down the window pane? | History, Sad | 124Dear God, please take care of your servant John Fitzgerald Kennedy. | | 125It looks like it's been furnished by discount stores. | | 126Can anyone understand how it is to have lived in the White House and then, suddenly, to be living alone as the President's widow? | | 201You have to have been a Republican to know how good it is to be a Democrat. | Politics | 202The one thing I do not want to be called is First Lady. It sounds like a saddle horse. | | 203When Harvard men say they have graduated from Radcliffe, then we've made it. | | 204You are about to have your first experience with a Greek lunch. I will kill you if you pretend to like it. | | 205 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
