 The most lasting and pure gladness comes to me from my gardens. |
| I am happy as happiness goes, for a woman who has so many memories and who lives the lonely life of an actress. |
| Sympathy is charming, but it does not make up for pain. |
| It was so kind of you to mention that I don't wear stays. What's the point? If you squeeze it in at one point, it only comes out at the other. |
| No person in the world ever lost anything by being nice to me. |
| Why in the world would anyone want to photograph an old woman like me? |
| I know I am at the end. I shall never get better, dear. |
| I was beautiful. Now, because I am old, I take no shame in so saying. |
| I felt weary of the responsibility of owning houses and was glad enough to pass mine on to others. |
| I have always been willing to take the blame for the things I have done. |
| I am a grandmother now, and that means age is creeping on, creeping on. |
