“There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do.”

You live out the confusions until they become clear.

Man can never know the loneliness a woman knows.

The real wonders of life lie in the depths. Exploring the depths for truths is the real wonder which the child and the artist know: magic and power lie in truth.

Anxiety is love’s greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.

Shame is the lie someone told you about yourself.

People living deeply have no fear of death.

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

Don’t let one cloud obliterate the whole sky.

Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. And then love will come to you, then it comes to you.

Write. Write until it stops hurting.

No one should be forced to carry the unfulfilled self of another.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Yet, as the numbers reveal, women in law, even today, are not entering a bias-free profession.

I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people.

True religion has, at its core: Love, Peace, Mercy, Justice and Freedom. If any of these elements is not fully present in a religion, the religion has been compromised.

Freedom is not free.

I think that the sweetest freedom for a man on earth consists in being able to live, if he likes, without having the need to work.

We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.
