“Well, I think that just being alive is a tremendous opportunity - it’s what you do with it that matters. And I know that work never hurt anyone, it’s the lack of work that destroys people. In some ways, I’ve lived my life as a man; made my own decisions, I’ve been as terrified as the next person, but you’ve got to keep going. You’ve got to dream. “
                                                           -Katharine Hepburn
