New Favorite Quote (or at least one I really like)

I encountered a quote today that may just become one of my favorites of all time. It has to do with the historical story of women fighting for the right to vote. Apparently Woodrow Wilson and others tried to get a psychiatrist to declare Alice Paul, one of the women jailed for picketing for the right to vote, insane so that she could be permanently institutionalized. The doctor refused, saying Alice Paul was strong and brave, but that didn't make her crazy. And then he said, (and here it is, my new favorite quote)


'Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity.'
I love it. : ) Here's to all the courageous, and possibly insane women out there.
Oh, and by the way, the Cougars won again this weekend, beating Washington 28-27. Go Cougs!
