How many women have the courage to start properly with a cold, cold bath early in the morning? I jump in, throw the water, cold as ice, and after the first plunge I am happy.

I was very adept at acquiring languages.

Most women are indulgent of themselves. This is a mistake. It should be only the reward of old age.

A woman must make her fortune before she is 30; or work after she is 30; or get married.

I want to see people turn and writhe; make them feel things they cannot see and sometimes do not know.

I do not say anything from jealousy.

It is quite lovely being single, and I much prefer it.
