I am woman, hear me roar.
The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.
I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.
Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, 'She doesn't have what it takes'; They will say, 'Women don't have what it takes.'
The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it by use.
