I've never worried about age.

Life is given to you like a flat piece of land and everything has to be done. I hope that when I'm finished, my piece of land will be a beautiful garden.

To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.

I shall die very young...maybe seventy, maybe eighty, maybe ninety. But I shall be very young.

As long as you don't make waves, ripples, life seems easy. But that's condemning yourself to impotence and death before you are dead.

Something pretty... that's just the surface. People worry so much about aging, but you look younger if you don't worry about it.

I have always had the urge to open forbidden doors: with a curiosity and an obstinacy that verge on masochism.

If you get trapped in the idea that what is most important is what image of yourself you're giving to the world, you're on a dangerous path.

To be free means to choose, whose slave you want to be. ­

If you want to live your life through to the end, you have to live dangerously.

To give and receive love, you have to be in touch with pain, you have to be capable of provoking it and feeling it.

... common sense is the one thing that will certainly be wrong.

When people have been oppressed for so long

When I used to play sports, I'd be the one cheering the team on, 'Come on, we can beat these guys!' That's just in me.

Our problem is not that we aim too high and miss, but that we aim too low and hit.

The heavy armor becomes the light dress of childhood; the pain is brief, the joy unending.

Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful.

For some reason, I have better luck when I work with women. I guess I have a good sense of sisterhood.

When you like what you like, it makes it easy for your husband to shop for you!

We have to know who we are and know what we believe.

Your initiations are worthwhile.
