"Keep a diary, and someday it'll keep..." - Quote by Mae West

“I like restraint, if it doesn't go too far.”

“I freely chose the kind of life I led because I was convinced that a woman has as much right as a man to live the way she does if she does no actual harm to society.”

“If you put your foot in it, be sure it's your best foot.”

“When I write, I aim in my mind not toward New York but toward a vague spot a little to the east of Kansas.”

“Write to Please Yourself. When You write to Please Others You end up Pleasing No one.”

“No one writes anything worth writing, unless he writes entirely for the sake of his subject.”

“I used to be a hot-tar roofer. Yeah, I remember that... day.”

“You're going to face a choice in November. This is a choice between the policies that got us into thismess in the first place and the policies that got us out of this mess - and what the other sideis counting on is people not having a good memory.”

“I don't want to be remembered. As long as my kids remember me, I'd rather be forgotten by everybody else.”
