I Learned To Walk As A Baby,

Nothing's Ever Easy As Long As You Go On Living.

A Smart Girl Leaves Before She Is Left.

I Knew I Belonged To The Public And To The World, Not Because I Was Talented Or Even Beautiful, But Because I Had Never Belonged To Anything Or Anyone Else.

I Don't Mind Living In A Man's World As Long As I Can Be A Woman In It.

At Twelve I Looked Like A Girl Of Seventeen. My Body Was Developed And Shapely. I Still Wore The Blue Dress And The Blouse The Orphanage Provided. They Made Me Look Like An Overgrown Lummox.
