I've always been a stubborn kid.

Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.

Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes... Can no longer be of concern to great powers alone.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.
