I'm a completely worthless woman and no man should risk his life for me.

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?

All alike, you men. You only want the satisfaction of being through with us first, that's all. So far I've had the good fortune of beating you to it. So I am heartless.

I smoke all the time, one after the other.

I was always sad as a child, for as long as I can think back. I hated crowds of people, and used to sit in a corner by myself, just thinking.

The story of my life is about back entrances, side doors, secret elevators and other ways of getting in and out of places so that people won't bother me.
