“May I never, I say, become that abnormal, merciless animal, that deformed monstrosity - a virtuous woman.”

“People say of me, 'She's peculiar.' They do not understand me. If they did they would say so oftener and with emphasis.”

“Knowing the self is the biggest truth. If we find the truth within, we have found God.”

“This above all: to thine own self be true.”

“What I'm looking for is not out there, it is in me.”
