coming in for a landing

Stumbled across this quote today, thought it worth pondering.
"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these." ~ Susan B. Anthony

Susan B. Anthony. Isn't that amazing... a name I recognize from Schoolhouse Rock. What a surprising quote. It seems so modern; not the kind of thing I'm used to imagining people saying a century ago. I wonder what in her own life she had in mind when she said it.
