Not everything you hear about ...

Not everything you hear about yourself can be considered good publicity. And if you have delicate sensibilities, the currycomb of public imagination frequently rubs your vanities the wrong way.

Quotes from the same author

Once you grow accustomed to being famous, you do not realize it, but you are never quite your humble, honest self.

Maybe I shall never achieve happiness, but one thing I have had - the terrible wisdom of love.
 Corra May Harris
As I have grown older I am more and more convinced that I have not grown up, that my powers have not come to me, not my real wisdom to do and achieve the right thoughts. I lack some dear grace.

It is not complimentary to God.
