Quotations by ...
Roger Rosenblatt (b. 1940) American essayist, playwright, English professor
When you take my arm, and we begin that awkward, stately walk toward your husband-to-be, I will envy him only one thing. He will be able to see you coming toward him. He will behold you in your brightness, confidence and wonder, as you cause everyone to gasp in amazement, just as you did the day you were first presented to the world.

To his daughter on her wedding; The Philadelphia Inquirer, December 30, 1998
