Inspirational Quote by Barbara Paul
““In case you haven't noticed, the primary occupation of little girls is sitting still. Stop fidgeting, behave yourself, act like a lady, don't, don't don't --that's what little girls hear the most. But my mother never said those words to me. She said Go! Do! Sing! ””
