Throwing the Bouquet

Jacqueline Lee Bouvier was born to a wealthy family and spent most of her days in the public eye. Despite her privileged upbringing and considerable celebrity, she never lost her perspective on life, as evidenced by the following quote from 1994: "Every moment one lives is different from the other. The good, the bad, hardship, the joy, the tragedy, love and happiness are all interwoven into one single, indescribable whole that is called life. You cannot separate the good from the bad. And perhaps there is no need to do so, either." Wise and inspiring words like these are what have made her an enduring symbol of courage, strength and dignity for millions of people throughout the world.
