• I have been very happy, very rich, very beautiful, much adulated, very famous and very unhappy.

• What could be more beautiful than a dear old lady growing wise with age? Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it.

• I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists.

• Only idiots refuse to change their minds.

• I accept differences of cultures in all countries. But unfortunately, cows are grown to be eaten, dogs are not. I accept that many people eat beef, but a cultured country does not allow its people to eat dogs.

• It is impossible to look young unless one is young.

• To experience the loneliness of soul is the hardest thing in the world.

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