Everything I know about Mignon McLaughlin comes from A.Word.A.Day, which, when citing her quotations, says she is a journalist and author, born 1913, died 1983. These are the five quotes in my Quote File, but a quick Google search turns up both more information (look at the names of those sons! True or Wiki?) and more delightful pith.
Every society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers.
True remorse is never just a regret over consequences; it is a regret over motive.
The best work is done with the heart breaking, or overflowing.
The hardest-learned lesson: that people have only their kind of love to give, not our kind.
Don't be yourself. Be someone a little nicer.
