I am nostalgic of an era I never knew.

What other people think of me is none of my business. Sometimes, it hurts my feelings, but I have to just keep going.

No matter how many people give me advice, I am going to do what my heart tells me to do

Egotism is usually subversive of sagacity.

Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness.

Fear and I were old buddies, despite my best efforts to the contrary.

We don't need this religious cosmopolitanism. It's no good.
