‘I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. ‘I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… you see, it is difficult to get all which I want.
