Calendar Quote of the Day

At a friend's baby shower last year I received one of those quote a day tear-off calendars called "Wild Words from Wild Women."

Today's quote:

Science prolongs life. To consist of what--eating, drinking, and sleeping? What is the good of living longer if it is only a matter of satisfying the requirements that sustain life? All this is nothing without the charm of art.

--Sarah Bernhardt, nineteenth-century stage star
