  • I am convinced that most people do not grow up...We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old.

  • We can see, from California to New York, from Maine to Florida, Seattle to New Mexico - everywhere there are women's groups. Everywhere there are women who have gotten together to examine global warming, and women who have gotten together to prepare each other for single parenting - there are women who have come together to be supportive to those whose mates are in prison, male or female, partners are in prison. All sorts of gatherings of women. I mean, I'm just celebrating my 80th year on this planet, and I look back 50 years ago and there was nothing like that.

If the new choice is also unpalatable, without embarrassment, we must be ready to change that as well.
