“A beauty is a woman you notice; a charmer is one who notices you.”
Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965) mid-20th-century Governor of Illinois and Ambassador to the UN
As quoted in The Stevenson Wit (1965) edited by Bill Adler
“All one's life as a young woman one is on show, a focus of attention, people notice you. You set yourself up to be noticed and admired. And then, not expecting it, you become middle-aged and anonymous. No one notices you. You achieve a wonderful freedom. It's a positive thing. You can move about unnoticed and invisible.”
As quoted in An Uncommon Scold (1989) by Abby Adams, p. 18
