I like the sea: we understand one another. It is always yearning, sighing for something it cannot have; and so am I.

I live like a monk: with one toothbrush, one cake of soap, and a pot of cream.

I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be let alone!' There is all the difference.

When one has not long to live, why shouldn't one have fancies?

There are some who want to get married and others who don't. I have never had an impulse to go to the altar. I am a difficult person to lead.

I'm tired and nervous and I'm in America. Here you don't know that you live.

You don't have to be married to have a good friend as your partner for life.
