“I don’t think you’re much good, unless you’re doing good to someone.”

I do not like candid pictures. They are so unattractive.

I have come to the conclusion that the most important element in human life is faith.

My husband changed jobs so fast that I simply never knew what business he was in.

I am not going to be licked by tragedy, as life is a challenge, and we must carry on and work for the living as well as mourn for the dead.
