“I am never any one of my attitudes, any one of my actions”
“It is perhaps the misfortune of my life that I am interested in far too much but not decisively in any one thing; all my interests are not subordinated in one but stand on an equal footing.”
“I never quarrel with actions. My one quarrel is with words”
“I can never be important to any one.''What is to prevent you?''Every thing — my situation — my foolishness and awkwardness.”
“If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one's own self-deception and ignorance.”
“I will never let myself be caught like that—any marriage I make will be my own. A choice. A free one.”
