Years ago, I thought old age would be dreadful, because I should not be able to do things I would want to do. Now I find there is nothing I want to do after all

No one sex can govern alone. I believe that one of the reasons why civilization has failed so lamentably is that is had one-sided government.

The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you.

The only thing the women were after was just the chance to help the world on. But some men were so dreadfully afraid of them that they refused to understand, and talked about 'shrieking sisterhoods' and 'disappointed spinsters' and rubbish of that sort.

Women are young at politics, but they are old at suffering; soon they will learn that through politics they can prevent some kinds of suffering.

I used to dread getting older because I thought I would not be able to do all the things I wanted to do, but now that I am older I find that I don't want to do them.

I refuse to admit that I am more than 52, even if that makes my children illegitimate.
