When I first went to New York I was right out of high school, I was 17 years old, and I had never seen a building over two stories high.

My life has never been easy. It's like all the major events of my life have always been difficult.

I still get so much fan mail addressed to Carol Brady, and I think a lot of it's through the Net. And I always answer it, if it's legible.

I started in live television and I've done a lot of live TV and that's really the thing that I love best. I love flying by the seat of my pants.

It takes a lot of courage to be happy (after the death of a spouse), but I've got courage, so I think I will be happy again.

I can't decide whether to commit suicide or go bowling.

I'm a '70s mom, and my daughter is a '90s mom. I know a lot of women my age who are real computer freaks.

I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse.

The harder you work, the luckier you become.

Activity is not achievement. It is not enough to rush about beginning a lot of things and keeping busy. A well-spent life is one that rounds out what it has begun.

I will no longer be referred to as Miss Steinem of Ms. magazine.

I don't think that the economy can absorb a massive flow of immigration that does not relate to the issue of persecution.

As the body dieth when the soul departeth, so the soul of man dieth, when it hath not the knowledge of God.

There is nothing new in this world other than the history that you don't know yet.

Because we're old as sh*t. What do you want?

It's slightly complicated for people to grasp the idea of a head of state in human form.

We have no idea what's natural and what's man made. [...] There is no fingerprint of human-caused warming.
