The self-fulfilled woman is far from reality.

There are moments when you feel free, moments when you have energy, moments when you have hope, but you can't rely on any of these things to see you through. Circumstances do that.

The evening passes somehow; I watch television with Nancy, or I write. It is difficult, not having a family, and it is difficult to explain. I always go to bed early. And I am always ready for Monday morning, that time that other people dread.

When you make a break for freedom you don't necessarily find company on the way.

Fiction is the great repository of the moral sense. The wicked get punished.

All good fortune is a gift of the gods, and you don't win the favor of the ancient gods by being good, but by being bold.

Always let them think of you as singing and dancing.
