I like to see flowers growing, but when they are gathered, they cease to please. I look on them as things rootless and perishable their likeness to life makes me sad. I never offer flowers to those I love I never wish to receive them from hands dear to me.

Adversity is a good school.

If he were insane, however, his was a very cool and collected insanity.

I am no bird and no net ensnares me I am a free human being with an independent will.

If men could see us as we really are, they would be a little amazed.

To you I am neither man nor woman. I come before you as an author only.

Flirting is a woman’s trade, one must keep in practice.

The man of regular life and rational mind never despairs.

I wished critics would judge me as an author, not as a woman.

Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last.
