Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.

Use your fear... it can take you to the place where you store your courage.

Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.

Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off. But if you don't have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you.

One of my favorite phobias is that girls, especially those whose tastes aren't routine, often don't get a fair break... It has come down through the generations, an inheritance of age-old customs, which produced the corollary that women are bred to timidity.

Now and then women should do for themselves what men have already done—occasionally what men have not done—thereby establishing themselves as persons, and perhaps encouraging other women toward greater independence of thought and action.

If enough of us keep trying, we'll get someplace.
