Free speech not only lives, it rocks!

I can't imagine I could have become the person I am now without books. Books became synonymous with freedom. They showed that you could open doors and walk through.

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.

When you educate a woman, you set her free. Had I not had books and education in Mississippi, I would have believed that's all there was.

The greatest contribution you can make to women's rights, is to be the absolute ... best at what you do.

I'm definitely not a traditionalist, because a traditionalist would be going to church every Sunday.

Use what you have to run toward your best - that's how I now live my life.
