Thomas Starr King

I pledged California to a Northern Republic and to a flag that should have no treacherous threads of cotton in its warp, and the audience came down in thunder.

What a year to live in! Worth all other times ever known in our history or any other.

It is strange. I see all the privileges and greatness of the future. It already looks grand, beautiful. Tell them I went lovingly, trustfully, peacefully.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

I have a regular cleansing, toning and moisturising routine.

When you gain 50 pounds during pregnancy like I did, you fear that you'll never get back in shape.
