“A woman's strength is the unresistible might of weakness.”

“As long as she thinks of a man, nobody objects to a woman thinking.”

“One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I'm a woman. That is the way all females should feel.”

“There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy and its charm.”

“Truth needs no color; beauty, no pencil.”

“The Greek epigram intimates that the force of love is not shown by the courting of beauty, but where the like desire is inflamed for one who is ill-favored.”
