More quotes by Elizabeth Edwards
At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by the highest public office we attained in our lifetime, if that were true the current president (George W.

Elizabeth Edwards
If I had lost a leg, I would tell them, instead of a boy, no one would ever ask me if I was 'over it'. They would ask me how I was doing learning to walk without my leg. I was learning to walk and to breathe and to live without Wade. And what I was learning is that it was never going to be the life I had before.
Elizabeth Edwards
Leave me if you must, but be faithful to me if you are with me.
Elizabeth Edwards

The photograph contains and constrains within its own boundaries, excluding all else, a microcosmic analogue of the framing of space which is knowledge. As such it becomes a metaphor of power, having the ability to appropriate and decontextualize time and space and those who exist within it.
Elizabeth Edwards
