“One must not live one's life through men but must be complete on oneself as a woman of substance.”
“That one must either explain life to oneself so that it does not seem to be an evil mockery by some sort of devil, or one must shoot oneself.”
“one must first learn to live oneself before one blames others”
“To cut oneself entirely from one's kind is impossible. To live in a desert one must be a saint.”
“To confess one's guilt and one's original sin is little, very little; one must wean oneself away from them completely. And that takes more than a little time.”
“To engage in a battle, one must know oneself, believe in oneself, and overcome one's own obstacle”
