Quotation Wednesday – The Princess Diana Edition

by the messy optimist

“There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.”

“It’s vital that the monarchy keeps in touch with the people. It’s what I try and do.”

“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.”

“If you find someone you love in life, you must hang onto it, and look after it, and if you were lucky enough to find someone who loved you, then you must protect it.”

“They say it is better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable, but how about a compromise like moderately rich and just moody?”

“Nothing brings me more happiness than trying to help the most vulnerable people in society. It is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.”

“I touch people. I think everyone needs that. Placing a hand on a friend’s face means making contact.” 

“People think that at the end of the day a man is the only answer. Actually, a fulfilling job is better for me.”

“I like to be a free spirit. Some don’t like that, but that’s the way I am.”

“I think the biggest disease the world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved.”

“I want my boys to have an understanding of people’s emotions, their insecurities, people’s distress, and their hopes and dreams.”

I’d like to be a queen in people’s hearts but I don’t see myself being queen of this country.

“What must it be like for a little boy to read that daddy never loved mummy?”
