I don’t approve of religion.

Ask anything of men. Ask them to achieve wealth, fame, love, brutality, murder, self-sacrifice. But don’t ask them to achieve self-respect. They will hate your soul.

To achieve, you need thought. You have to know what you are doing and that's real power.

I would step in the way of a bullet if it were aimed at my husband. It is not self-sacrifice to die protecting that which you value: If the value is great enough, you do not care to exist without it.

I guard my treasures: my thoughts, my will, my freedom. And the greatest of these is freedom.

The only man never to be redeemed is the man without passion.

Parties are intended to be celebrations, and celebrations should be only for those who have something to celebrate.
