If you want to be proud of yourself, then do things in which you can take pride

There is no good reason why we should not develop and change until the last day we live.

There is no such thing as a normal psychology that holds for all people.

If I couldn't be pretty, I decided I would be smart.

Fortunately analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts. Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.

It would not be going too far to assert that ... conflict confronts every woman who ventures upon a career of her own and who is ... unwilling to pay for her daring with the renunciation of her femininity.

That many-faceted thing called love succeeds in building bridges from the loneliness on this shore to the loneliness on the other one. These bridges can be of great beauty, but they are rarely built for eternity, and frequently they cannot tolerate too heavy a burden without collapsing.
