I believe that what woman resents is not so much giving herself in pieces as giving herself purposelessly.

Failures aren't failures if you learn something from them.

My Life cannot implement in action the demands of all the people to whom my heart responds.

You can’t just write and write and put things in a drawer. They wither without the warm sun of someone else’s appreciation.

Love is a force.... It is not a result; it is a cause. It is not a product; it produces.

I believe that true identity is found . . . in creative activity springing from within. It is found, paradoxically, when one loses oneself. Woman can best refind herself in some kind of creative activity of her own.

No one, it has been said, will ever look at the Moon in the same way again. More significantly can one say that no one will ever look at the earth in the same way. Man had to free himself from earth to perceive both its diminutive place in a solar system and its inestimable value as a life -fostering planet. As earthmen, we may have taken another step into adulthood. We can see our planet earth with detachment, with tenderness, with some shame and pity, but at last also with love.
