In my life, I am often reminded that there is a destiny that rules over us, because no one whom I know about or whom I read about seems to be completely happy during a long time.

Life is not a matter of milestones, but moments.

I tried to allow my children to take risks, to test themselves. Better broken bones than broken spirit.

There can be no really pervasive system of oppression, such as that in the United States, without the consent of the oppressed

I do not like candid pictures. They are so unattractive.

My father was a great innovator in public life, but when it came to raising his daughters, no one could have been more conservative.

What greater aspiration and challenge are there for a mother than the hope of raising a great son or daughter?
