“Life isn’t a matter of milestones, but of moments.”

I will never forgive Joe for that awful operation he had performed on Rosemary. It is the only thing I have ever felt bitter toward him about.

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.

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

As motherhood is the greatest and most natural God-given gift for women for posterity, it would seem that the birth and rearing of children, in the way which to us seems most ideal, would be the most satisfying and the most rewarding career for a woman.

I’ve had an exciting time; I married for love and got a little money along with it.

To my mind, there was no one in the world like my father. Wherever he was, there was magic in the air.

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

It’s wrong for parents to bury their children. It should be the other way around.

What greater aspiration and challenge are there for a mother than the hope of raising a great son or daughter?

There can be no really pervasive system of oppression, such as that in the United States, without the consent of the oppressed.

I tried to allow my children to take risks, to test themselves. Better broken bones than broken spirit.

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

I know not age, nor weariness nor defeat.

On quiet nights, I find the raging oceans within me, dancing with the moonlight.

To accomplish much you must first lose everything.

Don’t be afraid to love all your broken pieces. They will finally wether with the waters of ages, shrinking into friendly gemlike pebbles that are soft to your soul.

There’s no real reason why you can’t have what you want out of life.  

Love so deep like the blue sea. 

Sometimes, you need to stop from what you’re doing, take a deep breath, and remind yourself of who you are and what you want to be.

We always blame society for everything yet we forget we are the society.

Maybe admitting you need a break will give someone else the space to take one too.
