I don't think I could be friends with someone like that. I love that quote, as sad as it is. For a long time, I've observed what I thought were people intentionally "settling" for less than the best because they didn't want to have to live up to a standard they felt was too high for them. Of course, the person who always suffers most from this decision is the fabulous girl or guy who is left behind with a broken heart, self-esteem in shreds because they were "too good" for the person they loved. The irony is that most of these people probably would never have made a single demand on their insecure partners and loved them just the way they were.

She wrote the screenplay for my book and we spent time together. She loved her little girl who she birthed at big risks to her own health. Sadly, her brother, Bruce Wasserstein (a Wall Street legend),passed away this week of sudden heart failure. He was 61 and the guardian of Wendy's child. So tomorrow I'll say a birthday prayer for Wendy and her little girl. Thanks for this post on smarts and on Wendy. She wrote the screenplay for my book and we spent time together.
