From the American newspapers you'd think America was populated solely by naked women and cinema stars.

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

Sir, if you were my husband, I would poison your drink.

I married beneath me. All women do.

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.

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.
