When I am an old woman I shall wear purple, With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me, And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves, And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
Jenny Joseph

The craziest, most selfish act is to commit suicide. When you kill yourself, you kill others.
Jenny Joseph
I can't stand purple. It doesn't suit me.
Jenny Joseph
I was raised to feel that doing nothing was a sin. I had to learn to do nothing.
Jenny Joseph
