Sometimes I'm so deeply buried under self-reproaches that I long for a word of comfort to help me dig myself out again.

How lovely to think that no one need wait a moment, we can start now, start slowly changing the world! How lovely that everyone, great and small, can make their contribution toward introducing justice straightaway... And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness!

No one ever was the poorer for giving

but i've slammed the door to my inner self; if he ever wants to force the lock again, he'll have to use a harder crowbar!

I believe that in the course of the next century the notion that it's a woman's duty to have children will change and make way for the respect and admiration of all women, who bear their burdens without complaint or a lot of pompous words!

Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.

I've reached the point where I hardly care whether I live or die. The world will keep on turning without me, I can't do anything to change events anyway.
