I have come East to find what the public likes.

My one ambition is to play a hero.

I want to be a Renaissance Woman. I want to paint, and I want to write, and I want to act, and I just want to do everything.

Living next to the United States is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast one is affected by every twitch and grunt.

I was born to other things.

What creates happiness, peace, and balance is not becoming simply powerful, but knowledgeable.

Of course, I also attribute some of my hearing loss to being in the infantry in World War II. It's probably a combination of heredity and noise exposure.

A house with a great wine stored below lives in our imagination as a joyful house, fast and splendidly rooted in the soil.

I then moved to the University of Western Ontario where I was made a full professor in 1985.

Fire to my ice. Ice to my fever.

Material blessings, when they pay beyond the category of need, are weirdly fruitful of headache.

The rich man is not one who is in possession of much, but one who gives much.
