“I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.”

“God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.”

“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”
