I still remember her response to the question "Are men meant to be faithful?"
Her answer: Probably not, but that doesn't mean they can't try harder.

I actually attended a lecture by her years ago, and she was very interesting. She gave simple tips to maintain your mental agility, like doing your own math without a calculator. I still follow much of her advice.

I’m not sure I believe her solution to the Monty Hall problem.

If she said that at a Trump rally, she'd be right.
