I am above the weakness of seeking to establish a sequence of cause and effect, between the disaster and the atrocity.

I have, indeed, no abhorrence of danger, except in its absolute effect - in terror.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

I am a woman above everything else.

I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill.

I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat.
