I want my daughter to have the choice not just to succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.

Build your skills, not your resume.

The reason I wrote Lean In is I think people weren't actually noticing that we had stopped making progress. I gave a TED talk and said: "It turns out men still run the world." And the audience gasped as if that was news.

I would be better at my job if I were technical.

All of us want the same things. We want to be good to the people around us and for our lives to have meaning. For me that means making the world a little bit easier for women.

If you ask men why they did a good job, they'll say, 'I'm awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking?' If you ask women why they did a good job, what they'll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.

Don't be afraid to ask the 'dumb' question, everyone else will be relieved you had the guts to ask!
