"I am a woman who writes, and I am a woman who lives."

"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

"The greatest danger for women is that they will be loved too much, and not enough."

"I am too intelligent, too demanding, too resourceful for anyone to be able to satisfy me sensibly."

"I am a woman with a mind and a body, and I use both."
