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.

My vigour, vitality, and cheek repel me. I am the kind of woman I would run from.

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

I can conceive of nothing worse than a man-governed world -- except a woman-governed world.

I would rather commit adultery than drink a glass of beer.

Real education should educate us out of self into something far finer; into a selflessness which links us with all humanity.

It isn't the common man at all who is important: it's the uncommon man.
