"I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable."
"Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found."
“Don’t you and I expect blossoms from ourselves all year round?”
“Nothing feeds the center of being so much as creative work.”
"It is only in solitude that I ever find my own core."
"How hard it is to have the beautiful interdependence of marriage and yet be strong in oneself alone."
"Certain springs are tapped only when we are alone. Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves; that firm strand which will be the indispensable center of a whole web of human relationships"
