Quotes

I have been a child, a girl, a party doll, a mistress, a wife, a mother,a professional woman, a virgin and a grandmother. I have been a woman,for more than fifty years and yet I have never been able to discover,precisely what it is I am, how real I am. I ask myself - perhaps my,femaleness is just a human disease.
