Fortune helps the intrepid and abandons the cowards. I am the daughter of a man who did not know of fear. Whatever may come, I am resolved to follow that course until death.
If I were to write the story of my life, I would shock the world.
I bend my knee to no man. Unless I choose to.
If I have to lose, although I am a woman, I want to lose in a manly way.
Could I write all, the world would turn to stone.
