I can remember walking as a child. It was not customary to say you were fatigued. It was customary to complete the goal of the expedition.

I have had twenty years of perfect companionship with a man among men. He is a rock and a protection. I have never regretted it.

The calla lilies are in bloom again. Such a strange flower—suitable to any occasion. I carried them on my wedding day, and now I place them here in memory of something that has died.

Vitality! That's the pursuit of life, isn't it?

You learn in life that the only person you can really correct and change is yourself.

It is the ordinary woman who knows something about love; the gorgeous ones are too busy being gorgeous.

In some ways I've lived my life like a man, made my own decisions, etc. I've been as terrified as the next person, but you've got to keep going.
