"Don't let someone rearrange your path because they lost sight of their own."

"Independence is a heady draught, and if you drink it in your youth, it can have the same effect on the brain as young wine does. It does not matter that its taste is not always appealing. It is addictive and with each drink you want more."

"She wasn't kind of lady that depended on a man and I think that's what made her so irrestible to them, any man she had loved she wanted ~ and the men that loved her back couldn't handle not being needed, so she showed them the door and grew her own wings as they walked out. Love to her isn't a maybe thing, nor is it attachment and any man whom thinks he will ever own her would be best not to try at all."

"A person with a victim complex is incapable of achieving his goal without someone's assistance, advice and prompts."

"As only dead leaves allow the wind to blow them to and fro, never allow yourself to be swayed by popular opinion."

"I can't be my own person if I constantly require someone else to hold me together."

"Be independent, and do what you will."

"I can only do what's easy. I can only entice and be enticed. I can't, and won't, attempt difficult relations. If I marry it will either be a man who's strong enough to boss me or whom I'm strong enough to boss. So I shan't ever marry, for there aren't such men. And Heaven help any one whom I do marry, for I shall certainly run away from him before you can say 'Jack Robinson."
