I think a single woman's biggest problem is coping with the people who are trying to marry her off!

If you do the best you can, no matter how bad the situation, you probably are going to come out okay.

If you're a little mouseburger, come with me. I was a mouseburger and I will help you. You're so much more wonderful than you think. Cosmopolitan is shot full of this stuff although outsiders don't realize it. It is, in its way, an inspiration magazine.

My father died when I was 10; my sister got polio a couple of years later and was paralyzed. So there I was - my sister in a wheel chair, my father gone, and my mother a quiet little mouse. You see, it was the '30s in the South, so my mother was not prepared to cope. So I was scared to death. And being that scared, everything afterward became a struggle not to go down the drain. Struggling became a way of life for me.

The prerequisite for making love is to like someone enormously.

Get up and do it if it needs to be done, even if you hate it!

Love doesn't drop on you unexpectedly; you have to give off signals, sort of like an amateur radio operator.
