• I have been taking stock of my 50 years since I left Wichita. How I have existed fills me with horror for I failed in everything. Spelling, arithmetic, writing, swimming, tennis, golf, dancing, singing, acting, wife, mistress, whore, friend, even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of not trying. I tried with all my heart.

• I never gave away anything without wishing I had kept it; nor kept it without wishing I had given it away.

• We were Midwesterners born in the Bible Belt of Anglo-Saxon farmers, who prayed in the parlor and practised incest in the barn.

• Most beautiful dumb girls think they are smart and get away with it, because other people, on the whole, aren't much smarter.
