I find that arduous physical labor can jump-start my thought process.

I never was a hippie! I went to India because so many friends like Mia Farrow and The Beatles were going there to discover truth. And so I went and trekked through India by myself, but instead of discovering truth, I wanted to join the Peace Corps.

As I started getting older, I realized, 'I'm so happy!' I didn't expect this! I wasn't happy when I was young.

I am not a do-gooder. I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman.

We cannot elect men to office who are afraid of premature evacuation.

I thought I had learned how to have an intimate relationship. And I thought I'd learned how to be happy. Everybody has issues. For me, the challenge is intimacy, but I really didn't start to get that until I turned 60.

Men fear that becoming 'we' will erase his 'I.' For women, our 'we' is our saving grace Women's relationships are like a renewable source of power.
