A woman does not want the truth; what is truth to women? He wasn't arrogant or boastful, but his quiet, pe𝗑y confidence was captivating. From the beginning, nothing has been more alien, repugnant, and hostile to woman than the truth - her great art is the lie, her highest concern is mere appearance and beauty

The fact that [Saenz] is facing an offspeed guy and dealing with his oblique strain, you don't want him out there lunging after a changeup and ripping that oblique.

Lawyers enjoy a little mystery, you know. Why, if everybody came forward and told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth straight out, we should all retire to the workhouse.

I much prefer a compliment, even if insincere, to sincere criticism.

Your rat tail is all the fashion now. I prefer a bushy plume, carried straight up. You are Siamese and your ancestors lived in trees. Mine lived in palaces. It has been suggested to me that I am a bit of a snob. How true! I prefer to be.

For I am I: ergo, the truth of myself; my own sphinx, conflict, chaos, vortex—asymmetric to all rhythms, oblique to all paths. I am the prism between black and white: mine own unison in duality.

There are many crooked lines and one straight line. Which is the line of truth? Why the straight line? Truth is always the shortest distance between two points.

People like a woman who drinks her scotch straight. People like a woman who serves milk and cookies. But they don't like a woman who does both (commenting on Hillary Rodham Clinton's image).

The truth which makes me free is for the most part the truth which men prefer not to hear
Herbert Agar
I never set out to write a book to change women's lives, to change history. It's like, 'Who, me?' Yes, me. I did it. And I'm not that different from other women. ... Maybe my power and glory was that I could speak my truth as a woman and it was the truth of every woman.
