I lived in town until I was eight and then I moved nearer the farmland, so I had a mixture.
I've been so lonely for long periods of my life that if a rat walked in I would have welcomed it.
I see no reason why I should tickle stones or waste time on polishing bronze.
I feel that women 'and men,' but I mean the 'individual,' can be totally feminine and still be totally powerful.
I was discouraged about life, discouraged about people being blind, but I don't think I had a day that I ever questioned creativity. There has never been a day like that.
I believe in my work and in the joy of it. You have to be with the work and the work has to be with you. It absorbs you totally and you absorb it totally.
My mother was very sympathetic. She was the one who really gave me the courage to take my freedom.
The love of Christ is always there and unchanging, no matter what we do, but it is when we are obedient that we actually begin to feel it.
Freedom comes only to those who no longer ask of life that it shall yield them any of those personal goods that are subject to the mutations of time.
I can spend two hours grubbing about in my garden, dazed with pleasure and intent, and it feels like five minutes.
You hear the same thing every year but that is because it is true. In a short series, pitching is very dominant.
