And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Shirley Temple, aged 21, at the hearing for her divorce to John Agar, 1949.
i remember as a tiny tot, all the big ones smoked like chimneys, bridge night, had to open the windows or couldn't see across the room, and "cocktails", or cocktail hour as they would remark, a pretty neat thing really, everyone would get together, and talk about stuff, face to face, think it was good for the spirit, no pun intended.
Ahhhh, the good old times when 21 year old girls could already be divorced!
