Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency.

People feel guilty. And guilt is stymieing. Guilt immobilizes. Guilt closes the air ducts and the veins, and makes people ignorant.

Those who have something to say accept the fact that that's lonely. One already knows that there will be adversaries.

Women should be tough, tender, laugh as much as possible, and live long lives. The struggle for equality continues unabated, and the woman warrior who is armed with wit and courage will be among the first to celebrate victory.

I have risked everything to tell the truth. Tell the truth

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear, I rise. Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear, I rise.

I am a Woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.
