Tis not necessity, but opinion, that makes men miserable; and when we come to be fancy-sick, there's no cure.
It was not always easy because I was always an individual and found it difficult to be one of a group.
It's my experience that you really can't lose when you try the truth.
The worse that could happen has already happened to me.
I think that's why Meryl Streep is working so much, because she looks like a woman we can all relate to. I look at her and I think, 'I'm chasing my kids, I've moved my parents in with me, I'm coping with food spills - that looks like me in real life'. Meryl looks like an unmade bed, and that's what I look like. To me, that looks true.
I've been famous for a long, long time. So I don't think of it - I think of it very differently. It's the normal temperature of my room.
I've done an awful lot of trying to make everybody else okay and happy. I have learned, now it would really be ok to wait for someone who wants to be there for me and partner with me and I'm really looking forward to it.
Invisible harmony is better than visible.
I have never yet met a healthy person who worried very much about his health, or a really good person who worried much about his own soul.
You could miss someone, but it did no good to fixate on loss. I wished I had the ready words of a Breeder or the ability to comfort with a soft touch. I didn't. Instead I had daggers and determination. That would have to do.
For a man can lose neither the past nor the future; for how can one take from him that which is not his? So remember these two points: first, that each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its cycle, and that it signifies not whether a man shall look upon the same things for a hundred years or two hundred, or for an infinity of time; second, that the longest lived and the shortest lived man, when they come to die, lose one and the same thing.
