Quote of the day

By the time you get to year six, there's never a break. . . and you get tired. There's always a crisis. It wears you down. This has been a White House that hasn't really had much change at all.

' And when I said, 'And why don't you leave him?' they gave the saddest answer in the world: they said, 'Where would I go?' So they stayed with men they didn't like because they had nowhere to go.
