The soul is awakened through service.

I think men have always been afraid of women's sexuality, and the restrictions they put on women testify to that.

A man assumes that a woman's refusal is just part of a game. Or, at any rate, a lot of men assume that. When a man says no, it's no. When a woman says no, it's yes, or at least maybe. There is even a joke to that effect. And little by little, women begin to believe in this view of themselves.

I have forgotten my rave reviews and memorized my vicious ones - like most writers.

The most important education you get is your own - the one you learn in solitude.

You can't be creative and still be a good girl.

Beware of the man who denounces psychiatrists; / he is afraid.
