Now's the moment I always love and dread...the pub date. The Hamilton Affair comes out officially on August 2. Like a debutante ball, it's an exhilarating but terrifying occasion. Wish me luck with the critics!

“you may not care about marriage now, Betsey, but you'll change your mind someday. Someday you will. And if you've given no thought to how to choose a man you can live with, you're going to end up with someone ugly or poor. Or worse, dull"

"If I ever marry I don't want a husband I can live with. I want one I cannot live without.”

Elizabeth’s Quotes

“Human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.”
― George Washington

“Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying “yes” begins things. Saying “yes” is how things grow. Saying “yes” leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say “yes'.”
― Stephen Colbert
