"I refuse to admit that I am more than fifty-two, even if that does make my sons illegitimate."
"My vigour, vitality, and cheek repel me. I am the kind of woman I would run from."
"The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you."
To Churchill (again)
Astor: "If you were my husband, I’d poison your tea,"
Churchill: "Madam, if you were my wife, I’d drink it!"
And finally, on announcing she wasn't standing for re-election
"I believe I have something to give to the House of Lords, but I’m not sure they want what I’ve got."
