Sarah Fielding

The loss of liberty which must attend being a wife was of all things the most horrible to my imagination.

I fancied I had some constancy of mind because I could bear my own sufferings, but found through the sufferings of others I could be weakened like a child.

Flattery in courtship is the highest insolence, for whilst it pretends to bestow on you more than you deserve, it is watching an opportunity to take from you what you really have.

I always carry a tinted moisturiser with SPF sunscreen. A good lip balm is a must - I can't go past Lucas's Papaw Cream.

Kindness and a generous spirit go a long way. And a sense of humor. It's like medicine - very healing.

I am really rather like a beautiful Jersey cow, I have the same pathetic droop to the corners of my eyes.
