It is ridiculous to think that you can spend your entire life with just one person. Three is about the right number. Yes, I imagine three husbands would do it?
I don't think my position unusual for a woman. I'm following a perfectly natural urge to do what I like.
But if God had wanted us to think just with our wombs, why did He give us a brain?
When a man can't explain a woman's actions, the first thing he thinks of is the condition of her uterus.
[On Vice-President Henry A. Wallace:] Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still globaloney.
