“I should have known that I wasn't meant for happiness and a life of ease. I have other work to do in the world.”

“I have never deceived anyone, for I have never belonged to anyone. My independence was all my wealth: I have known no other happiness.”

“…I realized my happiness was artificial. I felt happy because I saw the others were happy and because I knew I should feel happy, but I wasn't really happy.”

“I don't feel the slightest interest in the next world; I think it's here. And I think anything good that you're going to do, you should do for other people here and not so you can try to have a happy time in the next world.”

“No other thing or no other person is going to make me happy in life, I just have to do that myself.”

“I'm sorry I have issues with my boyfriend doing other men. I'm sorry I have issues with me doing other men. Why was I always being made to feel guilty because I wasn't having sex with more people? Wasn't it supposed to be the other way around?”
