If the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot?

No one can give us power. If we aren’t part of the process of taking it, we won’t be strong enough to use it.

There's no greater gift than thinking that you had some impact on the world, for the better.

When you stand up for yourself and try to be autonomous and self-determining, you're called a lot of names that we all know and that are very common. You may lose your job. You may lose custody of your child. You may be blamed for the failure of your marriage even though it was the man who couldn't tolerate an equal relationship.

A person who has experienced something is almost always far more expert on it than are the experts.

Self-esteem isn't everything; it's just that there's nothing without it.

A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
