“Films have never shown the kind of relationship that can exist between two women.”

I am not finding pregnancy much of a joy. I am afraid of childbirth, but I am afraid I can’t find a way of avoiding it.

What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

I say what I think and I think what I say.

I never get hung up on the past – the memories are too negative.

I really am a cat transformed into a woman.

I never do anything by chance.

I have found out that friendship is quite as important as love and it isn’t any easier than love.

It is better to be wrong than correct with no desire to be.

Percentages are why I am rich.

Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

When I love, I do it without counting. I give myself entirely. And each time, it is the grand love of my life.

Success is unpredictable and fragile.

I can’t do the same thing every night, the same gestures. it’s like putting on dirty panties every day.

No more hard work than look beautiful with eight in the morning until midnight.

They may call me a sinner, but I am at peace with myself.

I don’t think when I make love.

He who denies the existence of God, has some reason for wishing that God did not exist.

The past is no more; the future not yet. Nothing exists except the here and now. Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at our hands.

If heaven exists, to know that there’s laughs, that would be a great thing.

Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.

Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past.

For women, then, poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence.

You must accept the fact that there is no help but self-help. I cannot tell you how to gain freedom since freedom exists within you.

Love is life on a higher plain of existence, working through man to unite the forces of nature into a perfect whole.
