• Publishing is the only industry I can think of where most of the employees spend most of their time stating with great self-assurance that they don't know how to do their jobs. "I don't know how to sell this," they explain, frowning, as though it's your fault. "I don't know how to package this. I don't know what the market is for this book. I don't know how we're going to draw attention to this." In most occupations, people try to hide their incompetence; only in publishing is it flaunted as though it were the chief qualification for the job.

• I always get ‘What’s wrong?’ or ‘Lighten up.’ Half the time, when guys tell me to smile, I’m not even frowning, I’m thinking! Then I’m like, Oh! Some men don’t want women to think! Do they all have walkie-talkies? Are they all in this together? Like, ‘OK, she’s thinking, someone say something. She’s reading, go distract her.’ It starts feeling like that sometimes, doesn’t it?

• When a man is just and firm in his purpose,
  The citizens burning to approve a wrong
  Or the frowning looks of a tyrant
  Do not shake his fixed mind, nor the Southwind.
  Wild lord of the uneasy Adriatic,
  Nor the thunder in the mighty hand of Jove:
  Should the heavens crack and tumble down,
  As the ruins crushed him he would not fear.
