Amy Vanderbilt Quotations

What we know, ... is that two hikers on the Grinnell Glacier Trail, at about 10 a.m., had a close encounter with a sow grizzly bear and two cubs. They did sustain bear bites, they dropped and rolled to avoid the attack, and they fell 30 feet down an embankment.

Glacier has historically been a hiker's park. And providing wheel-chair access is another aspect to enjoy the park.

I think it's safe to say that Logan Pass probably won't be open to through traffic probably for a few days,

Parents must get across the idea that I love you always, but sometimes I do not love your behavior.

Our crews have reported that someone did make it up to Logan Pass and they described water running down the middle of the road with standing water in many places.

We received 4.4 inches of rain, compared to a 10-year mean of 2.14 inches.

One face to the world, another at home - makes for misery.

Do not speak of repulsive matters at table.

The modern rule is that every woman should be her own chaperon.

The best-dressed women I know pay very little attention to the picayune aspects of fashion, but they have a sound understanding of style.

We must learn which ceremonies may be breached occasionally at our convenience and which ones may never be if we are to live pleasantly with our fellow man.

Breakfast is the one meal at which it is permissible to read the paper ...

Do not smoke without asking permission or sit so near (as in a train) that the smoke might annoy.

Only a great fool or a great genius is likely to flout all social grace with impunity, and neither one, doing so, makes the most comfortable companion.

Everyone knows that a man can marry even if he reaches the age of 102, is penniless, and has all his facilities gone. There is always some woman willing to take a chance on him.

When we learn to give thanks, we are learning to concentrate not on the bad things, but on the good things in our lives.

Parents must get across the idea that "I love you always, but sometimes I do not love your behavior."

Good manners have much to do with the emotions. To make them ring true, one must feel them, not merely exhibit them.

We will have personnel working on this all weekend, ... The boulder is going to require blasting to remove it. We're hoping that will happen today or Sunday at the latest.

We don't really know much about their condition, ... other than that they had some bear bites and possibly other trauma from the fall. We just don't know the extent of their injuries yet.

And with fee demonstration funding, Glacier has been able to put a lot of funding into making it more accessible. The key element is that the physically challenged visitor wants to have the same experience the other visitors have. They don't want to be singled out.

The modern rule is that every woman should be her own chaperone.

They're worried about potential under-cutting of the road surface.

It's a growing recommendation that we need to provide access for all park users, especially in parks that are less developed and rugged, like Glacier.

It's pretty cliffy there. I don't know how steep it was. It may have been a cliff, because it took five hours to get them up and out.
