"Fill what's empty, empty what's full and scratch where it itches." 

Alice Roosevelt Longworth (1884-1980), daughter of U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, 'honorary homosexual' nominee and self-described hedonist simple philosophy in life. 

Beginning in the late 1950s and continuing into the 1970s, the struggle of African Americans for social and legal equality could not have escaped the notice of a woman always known for approaching everyone she first met with respect, without regard for their station in life. As an example of her (Longworth's) attitudes on race, in 1965 her African American chauffeur and one of her best friends, Turner, was driving Longworth to an appointment. During the trip, he pulled out in front of a taxi, and the driver got out and demanded to know of him, "What do you think you're doing you black bastard?" Turner took the insult calmly, but Longworth did not and told the taxi driver, "He's taking me to my destination, you white son of a bitch!"
