You end up as you deserve. In old age you must put up with the face, the friends, the health, and the children you have earned.

The New Women! I could barely recognize them as being of the same sex as myself . . . .They are satiated by everything, hungry for nothing. They are what I wanted to be; they are what I worked for them to be: and now I see them, I hate them.

We shelter children for a time; we live side by side with men; and that is all. We owe them nothing, and are owed nothing. I think we owe our friends more, especially our female friends.

Men are irrelevant.

No one could be more happy than a man who has never known affliction.

I love acting. It is so much more real than life.
