No one could be more happy than a man who has never known affliction.

I love acting. It is so much more real than life.

Beauty is the first present nature gives to women and the first it takes away.

Only one thing registers on the subconscious mind: repetitive application – practice. What you practice is what you manifest.

Men are irrelevant.

The desire for self-expression afflicts people when they feel there is something of themselves which is not getting through to the outside world.

We shelter children for a time; we live side by side with men; and that is all. We owe them nothing, and are owed nothing. I think we owe our friends more, especially our female friends.
