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.

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

Never shall I forget those naked, clean-swept little Canadian towns, one just like the other. Before I was twelve years old, I must have lived in fifty of them.

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

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

I contend that every woman has the right to feel beautiful, no matter how scrambled her features, or how indifferent her features.

We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves.
