"The Very first moment I beheld him, my heart was irrevocably gone."

"Every moment had its pleasure and its hope."

"Each found her greatest safety in silence."

"Nothing amuses me more than the easy manner with which everybody settles the abundance of those who have a great deal less than themselves."

"I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself."

"My greatest ambition is to have a career without becoming a career woman."
