Sometimes I feel my whole life has been one big rejection.

Respect is one of life's greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don't have that?

If you spend your life competing with business men, what do you have? A bank account and ulcers!

If there is only one thing in my life that I am proud of, it's that I've never been a kept woman.

Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you.
