“There's nothing wrong with getting knocked down, as long as you get right back up.”

“We have to hear the stories of women at all ages of their lives in order to really present a picture of what it felt like to be alive in our time. That's what our job is as writers is to present that and create it. Our job as writers isn't to make as much money as we can. Our job is to create a record of this time.

“For we think back through our mothers if we are women.”

“The intellect of the generality of women serves more to fortify their folly than their reason.”

“Wealth is the means, and people are the ends. All our material riches will avail us little if we do not use them to expand the opportunities of our people.”

“If we suddenly plant our foot, and say, - I will neither eat nor drink nor wear nor touch any food or fabric which I do not know to be innocent, or deal with any person whose whole manner of life is not clear and rational, we shall stand still. Whose is so? Not mine; not thine; not his. But I think we must clear ourselves each one by the interrogation, whether we have earned our bread to-day by the hearty contribution of our energies to the common benefit? and we must not cease to tend to the correction of these flagrant wrongs, by laying one stone aright every day.”

“You want to be upper class, you want to be first class, but when the plane crash, everybody dead.”
