Jane Fonda

I watched Oprah interview Jane Fonda, now 71 years old.
I liked these quotes from Jane:

"To do life right you have to feel like you're growing up 'till the day you die."
"Little by little we break the cycle."

She was talking of the cycle of ignorance and disrespect - abuse.

Jane Fonda is still beautiful outside! I see she is growing her inner beauty too - good for her - and all the rest of us who keep learning and do better as we learn better. Noble and worthwhile work.
