“I put on pants fifty years ago and declared a sort of middle road.’’

“I have loved and been in love. There’s a big difference.’’

“If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead and get married.’’

— Katherine Hepburn (1907-2003), movie star, Hartford native and long-time resident of the village of Fenwick, which is part of Old Saybrook, Conn.
