Behind all their personal vanity women themselves always have an impersonal contempt for woman.

I think today women are very scared to celebrate themselves because then they just get labeled.

Women get more unhappy the more they try to liberate themselves.

Men who know themselves are no longer fools. They stand on the threshold of the door of Wisdom.

There's something brave and touching about game girls of all ages keeping themselves smart in hard times - one thinks of those wonderful women during World War II drawing stocking seams in eyebrow pencil up the back of legs stained with gravy browning because nylons were so hard to get hold of.

For one thing I don't think that anybody in any war thinks of themselves as a hero.

War is so unjust and ugly that all who wage it must try to stifle the voice of conscience within themselves.

Today we know that World War II began not in 1939 or 1941 but in the 1920's and 1930's when those who should have known better persuaded themselves that they were not their brother's keeper.

Most people live in a myth and grow violently angry if anyone dares to tell them the truth about themselves.

Those who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love the truth.
