write with honesty and don't worry about the feelings of others, because no matter what you say, they'll hate you anyway.

I was born in the middle of World War II, the middle of the Holocaust; I was born when there was no declaration of human rights, when feminism was not an issue, when children were working in factories. I mean, today's world is a better place!

Affection is like the noonday sun; it does not need the presence of another to be manifest.

Perhaps we are in this world to search for love, find it and lose it, again and again. With each love, we are born anew, and with each love that ends we collect a new wound. I am covered with proud scars.

Empowering women means trusting them.

What I fear most is power with impunity. I fear abuse of power, and the power to abuse.

I need to remember to overcome.
