Smell the roses. Smell the coffee. Whatever it is that makes you happy. - Rita Moreno

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward, nor tarries with yesterday.

I call myself the hardware shelf. There's a lot of awards and honors there. And I have earned that. I didn't ask for it, I didn't beg for it, I didn't pay for it. I earned that. People see the accomplishments - but it's good to remind people that so much strife and labor and tears and heartbreak came before that, that it really is earned. - Rita Moreno

All my life, I faced sexism and racism and then, when I hit 40, ageism. - Rita Moreno

Boys laugh at what they put girls through - but they won't be laughing when - they're wiping tears off their daughters face for the same reason.
