There can be nothing more baffling in a human relationship than silence, the dark loom of doubts and questions unexpressed.

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

For a gallant spirit there can never be defeat.

Never explain, never complain.

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

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 hate this place. I shall hate it to my grave.
