One learns first of all in beach living the art of shedding; how little one can get along with, not how much.

Only when a tree has fallen can you take the measure of it. It is the same with a man.

Don't wish me happiness - I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor - I will need them all.

Woman must be the pioneer in this turning inward for strength. In a sense, she has always been the pioneer.

Ideally, both members of a couple in love free each other to new and different worlds.

But I want first of all- in fact, as an end to these other desires- to be at peace with myself.

God may want you to be the answer to your own prayer.
