Nobody wants me as a Cabinet Minister and they are perfectly right. I am an agitator, not an administrator.

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.

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

Basic beauty lies in the way a woman walks; it is health and an attitude to life.

When she woke briefly during her last illness and found all her family around her bedside: "Am I dying or is this my birthday?"

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.

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