Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it. And the only possible way to accomplish this great change is to accord to women equal power in the making, shaping and controlling of the circumstances of life.

There never has been security. No man has ever known what he would meet around the next corner; if life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.

You can't give up! If you give up, you're like everybody else.

I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.

In every crisis there is a message. Crises are nature's way of forcing change - breaking down old structures, shaking loose negative habits so that something new and better can take their place.

I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else's whim or to someone else's ignorance.
