We all go through the same things - it's just a different kind of the same thing

As I grow older, I think friendship between women is a thing to cherish.

Declining to go to church with my parents in the morning, I would ostentatiously set out for the Monist Society in the afternoon, down an obscure street which it seemed a little improper to be walking on, as everything was closed for Sunday, upstairs through a sort of side entrance over a saloon.

I'm an American. We've translated democracy and brotherhood and equality into enterprise and opportunity and success - and that's getting Americanised.

We are living now.We shall not live long.No one should tell us we shall live again.This is our little while.This is our chance.

For nothing is so hard to hear as that which is half known, and evaded. One never denies so hotly as in denying to one's self what one fears is true, and one never resents so bitterly as in resenting that which one cannot say one has the right to resent.

We live close together and we live far apart. We all go through the same things-it's all just a different kind of the same thing.
