• My husband had a very strong identity and was successful in his life. Thank God for that. There's no way I can control him. I wouldn't stay married to him if I felt I could. I can readily take my business personality into the home. But he forces me to be a partner rather than the boss.

• Besides, there is more that binds us to Bolshevism than separates us from it. There is, above all, genuine, revolutionary feeling, which is alive everywhere in Russia except where there are Jewish Marxists.

The petit bourgeois Social-Democrat and the trade-union boss will never make a National Socialist, but the Communist always will.

That house you can't afford, that car that's out of your price range, that cellphone that drains your bank account - that's your boss.

• If I am traitor, who did I betray? I gave all my information to the American public, to American journalists who are reporting on American issues.
