My grandmother told me that every good thing I do helps some human being in the world. I believed her 50 years ago and still do.

Women should be tough, tender, laugh as much as possible, and live long lives.

I'm a religious woman. And I feel I have responsibility. I have no modesty at all. I'm even afraid of it - it's a learned affectation and it's just stuck on me like decals.

Faith is the evidence of the unseen.

No sun outlasts its sunset, but will rise again and bring the dawn.

Let us live so we do not regret years of inertia and ignorance, so when we die we can say all of our energy was dedicated to the noble liberation of the human mind and spirit, beginning with my own.

Live as though life was created for you.
