If you are blessed, you are blessed, whether you are married or single.

Your joys and sorrows. You can never tell them. You cheapen the inside of yourself if you do tell them.

I want to be alone.

The story of my life is about back entrances, side doors, secret elevators and other ways of getting in and out of places so that people won't bother me.

I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.

The judge turned his back towards me, sitting back on his judge's chair, while I was in the witness stand being questioned. The whole courtroom was full of these anarchists, leftists, communists and Jewish lobbyists.
