I have had a couple of marriages, but like every other woman I had a perfect right to them.

If a man is worth loving at all, he is worth loving generously, even recklessly.

The world doesn't go around on love between men and women. Lovers get very little done. But friends do. When you are past middle life - and I hope you have the rich experience of love along the way - don't think everything is all over. Don't regret the vanished cocktail when the stuffed turkey is about to come in. Flip out your napkin and bite into it! Friends you can gather around you in the later years of life are worth the whole thing.

To know that one has never really tried - that is the only death

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

If ants are such busy workers, how come they find time to go to all the picnics?

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