"I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage

Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back; a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country."
