Somehow I evolved into a person who ceased to ask permission.

A friend said to me, 'Be glad for your troubles - they strengthen you.' Well, if that's the truth, I'm going to be so strong they'll have to beat me to death!

Like the one-tenth of our brain that we currently use, I think now that most if not all of us have access to about one-tenth of our possible feelings.

The church belongs to its hierarchy, which is men in power. Those outside the hierarchy, and especially women, are at best only renters and at worst squatters in religious territory.

We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.

It's only when we have nothing else to hold onto that we're willing to try something very audacious and scary.

people are strong despite suffering, not because of it.
