“Ignorance has its virtues; without it there’d be mighty little conversation.”

I’m very susceptible to sex appeal.

Sometimes when you involve yourself in so many things, you can’t do any of them well – and I like to do everything perfectly.

Isn’t it wonderful to be alive? You know, you can forget all about it. Then suddenly you remember, and think of all the things you can do. Here I am. I can walk around. I can talk. I can see things and remember things. I am alive. How wonderful!

If you haven’t cried, your eyes can’t be beautiful.

Good food is a celebration of life.

The first woman was created from the rib of a man. She was not made from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal to him.

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.

I’m a giraffe. I even walk like a giraffe with a long neck and legs. It’s a pretty dumb animal, mind you.

Mistakes are the price of an interesting life.

It’s a mistake to think that once you’re done with school you need never learn anything new.

The fantasy of a man is the best weapon of a woman.

There is no greater love potion than regular coffee, brewed his own. When a man tries it, he was not going anywhere.

Any woman can look her best if she feels good in her skin. It’s not a question of clothes or makeup. It’s how she sparkles.

I still like me, inside and out. Not in a vain way – I just feel good in my skin.

I have no regrets. regret only makes wrinkles.

I don’t like to run. I don’t like to jump up and down. Being a big girl and having a bosom, I injure myself! It upsets me, I have to hold my two things. I just can’t jog, there’s something in the way.

I tried to groan, Help! Help! But the tone that came out was that of polite conversation.

Conversation should be like juggling; up go the balls and plates, up and over, in and out, good solid objects that glitter in the footlights and fall with a bang if you miss them.

So many of our conversations (about affirmative action) have been dishonest

And surely one of the best rules in conversation is, never to say a thing which any of the company can reasonably wish had been left unsaid.

Argument is the worst sort of conversation.

You’re always in a rush, or else you’re too exhausted to have a proper conversation. Soon enough, the long hours, the traveling, the broken sleep have all crept into your being and become part of you, so everyone can see it, in your posture, your gaze, the way you move and talk.

Our inner conversations often block our natural energy of peace, happiness and love.

A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That’s why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.
