A high station in life is earned by the gallantry with which appalling experiences are survived with grace.

Success is blocked by concentrating on it and planning for it... Success is shy - it won't come out while you're watching.

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.

A man, when he burns, leaves only a handful of ashes. No woman can hold him. The wind must blow him away.

I'm not living with you. We occupy the same cage. (Maggie)
