“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
― Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

“Our imagination flies -- we are its shadow on the earth.”
― Vladimir Nabokov

“Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Courage is grace under pressure.”
