• Twisting and wiring and stringing starching and curling, delicately painting spots and shadings on scraps of silk until what had been nothing more than a pile of brightly colored fragments had been transformed into the silk irises, forget-me-not, violets and roses that would adorn the hats of women and girls more fortunate than themselves.

• When I am an old woman I shall wear purple,
  With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me,
  And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves,
  And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.

• Sometimes I come here just to be a lost mariner
  but I am never lost:
  there are the snowflakes frozen to the porthole of a jewelry store,
  here is the treasure chest open to a single pearl
  laid on a velvet slab,
  there is the plashing of faces in the aisles
  and the row of lockers stuffed with the coats and hats of the drowned
  and it is night, and the moon rows over
  the gentle waters of the parking lot.

• Some people mistake weakness for tact. If they are silent when they ought to speak and so feign an agreement they do not feel, they call it being tactful. Cowardice would be a much better name. Tact is an active quality t hat is not exercised by merely making a dash for cover. Be sure, when you think you are being extremely tactful, that you are not in reality running away from something you ought to face.

• Man must begin to the unitary principle of man - knowing that there are not separate men or separate individuals, but hat the whole man idea is one. He must know that all mankind is connected with every other part of mankind, all geared together by the one omnipresent Light of God which centers all as ONE and motivates all as ONE. Until man knows that separation from God is impossible, even for one second, he does not begin to have knowledge.

• As a writer, as much as I try, I can't stop writing female characters. They have so much more to offer; they have to wear so many different hats. There's so much wonderful gray matter in a female's life that it just makes for a stronger character.

• I think it's like that for people who don't remember 1969 first-hand. It's that sense of 'old hat.' Of 'been there, done that.' Space shuttles, space stations, communications satellites, GPS - they're all part of our everyday, taken-for-granted world in 2009, not part of an incredible odyssey.
