From pacifist to terrorist, each person condemns violence - and then adds one cherished case in which it may be justified.

I want us to organize, to tell the personal stories that create empathy, which is the most revolutionary emotion.

We need to remember across generations that there is as much to learn as there is to teach.

We choose to be writers because we don't want to talk.

As an activist, you do find yourself directed more toward public action. But I've always tried to use stories from my own life in my writing. It has always been clear to me that the stories of each other's lives are our best textbooks.

This idea of doing it all is the enemy of equality, not the path to do it. It's impossible to do two full-time jobs, and an impossible definition of success is just another way of making women feel like failures... Any definition of success has to include social policies that honor families and men who raise babies as much as women do.

Whatever you want to do,do it now.
