Wit doesn't make girls pretty.
I took pleasure when I could. I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I'm very lucky.
Every age has its happiness and troubles.
When I'm laid in my coffin, I want you to put a picture of my grandchild to the right of me and and a picture of my daughter to my left. That way they will be buried with me.
[On being the oldest living human being:] God must have forgotten me.
My sight is bad, my hearing is bad, I feel bad, but I don't suffer, I don't complain.
