You mustn’t miss the moment. There’s only one first sailing into Rio harbor.
The secret of marriage is: separate bedrooms and separate bathrooms.
At 50, I thought proudly: Here we are, half century! Being 60 was fairly frightening. You want to know how I spent my 70th birthday? I put on a completely black face, a fuzzy black Afro wig, wore black clothes and hung a black wreath on my door.
There is a certain ecstasy in wanting things you can’t get.
I have been at war from the beginning. I’ve never looked back before. I’ve never had the time and it has always seemed so dangerous. To look back is to relax one’s vigil.
I work to stay alive.
It is my last wish to be burried sitting up.

I never said anything that was unprintable. Never said anything just for the sake of being startling.
If men found out how to give birth to children they’ll never propose again.
The real female should be partly male and the real male should be partly female anyway.
I think it’s just too much trouble to be dishonest and keep up with yourself.
I think men have got to change an awful lot. They still prefer the little woman.
