Thinking Quotes

My desire to dive with an oxygen cylinder was so intensive that I decided to use a trick. Registering as Helene Jacob, I lied about my age: instead of 1902, I wrote 1922 in the application forms.

You can't live your life being upset about things, but it's a lot easier to not be upset about it if you've got enough money yourself.
