Quotes by Blanche Wiesen Cook (?)

“And the purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
― Blanche Wiesen Cook, Eleanor Roosevelt, Volume 1: The Early Years, 1884-1933

“You cannot take anything personally. You cannot bear grudges. You must finish the day’s work when the day’s work is done. You cannot get discouraged too easily. You have to take defeat over and over again, and pick up and go on. Be sure of your facts. Argue the other side with a friend until you have found the answer to every point which might be brought up against you. Women who are willing to be leaders must stand out and be shot at. More and more they are going to do it, and more and more they should do it.”
― Blanche Wiesen Cook, Eleanor Roosevelt: Volume I, 1884-1933

“And even when success comes, as I am sure it will, bear in mind that there are more quiet and enviable joys than to be among the most sought after women at a ball...”
― Blanche Wiesen Cook, Eleanor Roosevelt, Volume 1: The Early Years, 1884-1933
