“Why don't you come sober, Prime Minister?[The answer she gave to Churchill when he asked about what disguise he should wear to a masquerade ball]”

“My vigour, vitality, and cheek repel me. I am the kind of woman I would run from.”

“In passing, also, I would like to say that the first time Adam had a chance he laid the blame on a woman.”

“I refuse to admit that I am more than fifty-two, even if that does make my sons illegitimate.”

“I married beneath me. All women do.”

“One reason I don't drink is that I want to know when I am having a good time.”
