Many women tend toward the interdependent end of things, we tend to see ourselves in relationship to others to a far greater degree than men.

A man was the sum of his limits; freedom only made him see how much so.

I think that there is a bias in the current literary climate, which is not only very Western but very male.

Anything is possible. A man is what he makes up his mind to be.

For students who are in the most creative group in America to somehow be presumed to be narrow is just completely meshugga.

The independents are the ones who tend to commit suicide. I'm not against this way of being in the world. Individuals have brought us many treasures. You can't just say that's a bad way of being in the world - it's not. But it's not everyone's way of being in the world.

I hate to generalize because there are always so many exceptions to any rule.
