The label 'wife of the prime minister' is like a giant signboard pointing at my head from a Monty Python sketch. But I am not Mrs. Prime Minister. I'm a human being.
I am not concerned about my posthumous fame. Monuments are no good to the dead.
I am still of opinion that only two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood - sex and the dead.
I was in a queer mood, thinking myself very old: but now I am a woman again - as I always am when I write.
When the good Christians of America are some of its biggest racists, one has to consider our moral responsibility to call out those who clearly are not for human flourishing, no matter what ethnicity a person is. Where are you on that scale? I know where I am.
If I am against the condition of the world, it is not because I am a moralist - it is because I want to laugh more.
I am death-fearing. I don't think I'm morbid. That seems to me a fear of death that goes beyond the rational. Whereas it seems to me to be entirely rational to fear death!
A journal of the 'subjective' kind I have always thought foolish, as nurturing a morbid self -consciousness in the writer; and yet, alone so much as I am, it is well to have some sort of a ventilator from the interior.
I'm as much influenced by Joseph Smith and the Mormons as I am, more so, than by Eliot. Actually, I'm much more influenced by the poetry of the Mormons.
I love to cook breakfast. I am a morning person.
I am a morning person and the first task for me in the morning is to hit the gym.
I am not a morning person.
I'm a morning person, so rising at 4-something on weekends is not a huge challenge for me. I am not, however, much of a morning eater - not at that hour, at least.
I am not a morning person at all.
I am not a morning person. I like to sleep in.
I think people will be surprised to find that I'm not as much of an idiot as they think I am. I'm not a real moron.
I am amazed at radio DJ's today. I am firmly convinced that AM on my radio stands for Absolute Moron. I will not begin to tell you what FM stands for.
Being a mother is the most beautiful thing happened to me. I am enjoying every bit of it.
I am a Chicagoan. I feel like I've simply been on vacation for 10 years in Los Angeles. But Chicago is a real place, and L.A. is a motel.
