You are a person of the greatest importance when you are a mother of the family.

It has been an ache and a joy both to look over this big shoulder of mine at all my yesterdays.

Twenty-five years is a long time for a girl to live out of a trunk, and after looking over a few houses, I fell in love with one in Southwest Los Angeles.

All my life I've been prejudiced against wealthy people.

We miss a lot in life because we don't know when to quit, what to leave out.

I dressed plain, but my partners were always spending more money on clothes than I could afford.

Somehow, the things my mother wanted to do, the release in evangelism she sought with such frenzy, were transferred to me.
