More From Dolly Parton

Longing surged up within me. i wanted it. oh god, i wanted it. i didn't want to hear jerome chastise me for my "all lowlifes, all the time" seduction policy. i wanted to come home and tell someone about my day. i wanted to go out dancing on the weekends. i wanted to take vacations together. i wanted someone to hold me when i was upset, when the ups and downs of the world pushed me too far. i wanted someone to love.

Usually women are the lynchpins of the family. they carry the brunt of the work at home and of being mothers and of taking care of the children. not always. i have a wonderful husband, who is a great father and has helped tremendously at home. and i think that men are getting in touch and i think that the role that they have is so important, to be a good father and have a good career and be a good husband. but i think that as more and more women go into the workforce, you have to have more help at home and it becomes more of a sharing of responsibilities.

But having more freedom she only became more profoundly aware of the big want. she wanted so many things. she wanted to read great, beautiful books, and be rich with them; she wanted to see beautiful things, and have the joy of them for ever; she wanted to know big, free people; and there remained always the want she could put no name to? it was so difficult. there were so many things, so much to meet and surpass. and one never knew where one was going.

But this is the point i want to make: when you talk about steroids and you talk about what it means to the game, the three greatest home run hitters of all time-hank aaron, babe ruth and willie mays, right? when they were 39 years old, how many home runs do you think they averaged? the three greatest home run hitters of all time averaged 18 home runs at age 39. now, how many home runs did barry bonds hit when he was 39? he hit 73!

I have a good sense of my body in a bathing suit around people who appreciate what i'm doing, like a contest. then i'm proud. on television i am proud. but on a beach most people are not experts. the general public doesn't know how to look. how proud can you be when they don't even know what they're looking at?

Life in the country teaches one that the really stimulating things are the quiet, natural things, and the really wearisome things are the noisy, unnatural things. it is more exciting to stand still than to dance. silence is more eloquent than speech. water is more stimulating than wine. fresh air is more intoxicating than cigarette smoke. sunlight is more subtle than electric light. the scent of grass is more luxurious than the most expensive perfume. the slow, simple observations of the peasant are more wise than the most sparkling epigrams of the latest wit.

There is someone special in my life right now, and i'm really happy with that, life is wonderful at the moment.

Don’t concern yourself with being right in others’ eyes. and don’t secretly hope that their lives will fall apart so that your opinion will be vindicated. instead, concentrate on obeying god in your own life and, when possible, helping others to obey him as well. you don’t have to prove others wrong to continue on the course you know god has shown you.

At every crossroad on the way that leads to the future, each progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand men appointed to guard the past.
