Ruby Dee quote: "It takes a long time to really be married."

Quote:

“It takes a long time to really be married. One marries many times at many levels within that marriage. If you have more marriages than you have divorces within the marriage, you’re lucky and you stick it out.”

– Ruby Dee, American actress, poet, playwright, screenwriter, journalist, and civil rights activist

The background is softly focused, adding to the ethereal and vintage quality of the portrait. — Ruby Dee
