I am going to enjoy life in Paris I know. It is so human and there is something noble in the city... It is a real city, old and fine and life plays in it for everybody to see.

Life never become a habit to me. It's always a marvel.

Warm, eager, living life-to be rooted in life-to learn, to desire, to know, to feel, to think, to act. This is what I want. And nothing less. That is what I must try for.

Why it should be such an effort to write to the people one loves I can't imagine. It's none at all to write to those who don't really count.

Once we have learned to read, meaning of words can somehow register without consciousness.

Courage is like a disobedient dog, once it starts running away it flies all the faster for your attempts to recall it.

The great thing to remember is we can do whatever we wish to do provided our wish is strong enough.
