Women who set a low value of themselves make life hard for all women.

It is often true that those who sit in the wings can see more than the players.

Every season of life has its compensations.

Never retract, never explain, never apologize; get things done and let them howl.

I want to leave something behind when I go; some small legacy of truth, some word that will shine in a dark place.

We may yet live to see the day when women will be no longer news! And it cannot come too soon. I want to be a peaceful, happy, normal human being, pursuing my unimpeded way through life, never having to stop to explain, defend or apologize for my sex.

Humanity has to travel a hard road to wisdom, and it has to travel it with bleeding feet.
