In Dani's Words
A glimpse into the world of a beautiful soul as she recovers from a brain injury.
A list of phrases and the context in which they were spoken, sometimes funny, sometimes sorrowful, sometimes philosophical, but always just what's on her mind.

all equal
Submitted by Uncle Lee on Wed, 12/15/2004 - 22:22. In Dani's WordsMay I recommend a movie that came out a few years back called "Places in the Heart". It's a story of tragedy, tenacity, and triumph starring Sally Fields, Danny Glover, and Ed Harris. The setting is deep in south Texas during the height of the great depression.
There is a scene where a bank officer with a strong Texas draw refers to Danny Glover's character as "that neegra Moses".
Dani immediately suggested that he had said a bad word.
a fun place?
