“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”

“It鈥檚 probably not just by chance that I鈥檓 alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he鈥檚 terribly strong.

I鈥檝e been in business without being a businesswoman, I鈥檝e loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I鈥檝e loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I鈥檝e done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.”
