“I think I lived those years very impersonally. It was almost as though...” — Eleanor Roosevelt Quote

“I think I lived those years very impersonally. It was almost as though I had erected someone outside myself who was the president's wife. I was lost somewhere deep down inside myself. That is the way I felt and worked until I left the White House.”

“Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.”

“Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.”

“What I am is a heretic who's recanted and, thereby, in everyone's eyes, saved his soul. Everyone's eyes but one, who knows deep down inside that all he has saved is his skin.”

“I realized I had been keeping people around even when deep down I knew they were bad for me. I had overridden myself.”

“Deep down, everybody wants to do what they want to be doing. They just feel that they can't.”
