You know, a few months ago, I made a terrible mistake. I realized something, and instead of crushing the thought the moment it came I... I let it hang on, and now I know it to be true. And I'm afraid it's stuck in my head forever. These are the best days of our lives. It's a terrible thing to know, but I know it. Richard Curtis
About This Quote

This quote by Judy Garland is an example of how one can change their life for the better. Judy Garland was a huge star in the 1930s and 1940s. Her career changed after she had her first child, Shirley Temple. The movie industry was not exactly kind to mothers who were not successful stars like she once was.

She became an alcoholic and even took up heroin, but she managed to get back on track with the help of a counselor and a new husband. She died in 1969 at age 47 from a barbiturate overdose, but she left behind a legacy of beauty and kindness that has touched the hearts of millions.
