By the time we've hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons

I enjoy reading biographies because I want to know about the people who messed up the world.

I never ride horseback now because my sympathy with the under-dog is too keen. After we have a gone a few blocks, I always dismount and say to the horse: 'We'll walk it together, old dear.

If there's one thing I know, it's men. I ought to. It's been my life's work.

It is not how old you are, but how you are old.

the human heart clings - even to its pain.

That's the unfortunate thing about death. It's so terribly final.
