My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.

Courage means to keep working a relationship, to continue seeking solutions to difficult problems, and to stay focused during stressful periods.

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.
