"I really grew up with my children. My love for them was all-important for me. I dedicated my love, my passion, my youth, everything, to them. And now what have I got?

Marry again? Ridiculous! For a woman like me, who is used to repect and freedom and who has liberated herself from all desires, to become dependent on someone else again would be an intolerable situation, like bitter suicide."
