I wish I were supernaturally strong so I could put right everything that is wrong.

I smoke all the time, one after the other.

There is no one who would have me - I can't cook.

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

I cannot see myself as a wife. Ugly word.

I'm not always sincere. One can't be in this world, you know.

[When asked if she believed in "women's lib":] Not really. Not when I see what most of them look like.
