There is a peacefulness, an air of reflection, about a rocking-chair that attaches to no other moving object.

I never make a trip to the United States without visiting a supermarket. To me they are more fascinating than any fashion salon.

You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance.

I'm not a beautiful woman. I'm nothing to look at, so the only thing I can do is dress better than anyone else.

I have always had the courage for the new things that life sometimes offers.

I was a long time learning that wisdom and experience are things apart; that to taste life is not to be confused with understanding what life is really all about.

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.
