“Connie Shultz: Our first date was 20 years ago today. We met at a nearly empty chain restaurant and, over candlelight, Sherrod read aloud two typed pages of his favorite quotes, including this one by George Bernard Shaw:
“I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to the future generations.”
After he finished reading that one, I pulled out the same quote from my wallet, handwritten on pink paper.
We married 15 months later.”
― George Bernard Shaw
