Everything else you grow out of, but you never recover from childhood.

The prize I value most was given to me 60 years ago. I was named the girl with the cleanest fingernails.

Well, I woke up one morning around Christmas, went as far as the shops, and when I got to the corner I felt this violent pain in me left leg. I mentioned it to my daughter and she took me instantly to the hospital. It turned out it was vasculitis. In other words, you can have your leg off.

Everything else you grow out of, but you never recover from childhood.

I've never been put down by a man, unless I deserved it, and have never felt inferior.

Being constantly with children was like wearing a pair of shoes that were expensive and too small. She couldn't bear to throw them out, but they gave her blisters.
