I would rather be a fairly happy wife and mother.

I've never made plans for more than a day ahead.

Are there many things in this cool-hearted world so utterly exquisite as the pure love of one woman for another woman?

I was born to be alone, and I always shall be but now I want to be.

The world is like a little marsh filled with mint and white hawthorn.

When a man and a woman love one another that is enough. That is marriage. A religious rite is superfluous. And if the man and woman live together without the love, no ceremony in the world can make it a marriage.

I want fame more than I can tell. But more than I want fame I want happiness.
