I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.

I've never rejected the world I came from. To be rejected by it is horrible.

I'm not looking for sympathy at all.
