“But maybe I can shepherd it back to the breath when it's only gone as far as the backyard. Maybe I don't need to let it get as far as the freeway, or the airport, and then I won't have to spend days walking back, retracing my steps to the place where I find my breath. Maybe this is a way to conserve energy, an alternative to holding court with everyone I know.”

“The universe doesn't exist to make you happy.
... life never actually failed to do what it said it would do, because it never said it would do anything.
Because it's just a construct that it made a deal with us.
It lets the hurt just be hurt.
Manslaughter instead of murder one.”

“Over the years, I’ve hired and promoted a lot of young women and young men. Much of the time, this is how it went: ME: I’d like you to take on a bigger role. YOUNG MAN: I’m thrilled. I’ll do a great job. I won’t let you down. YOUNG WOMAN: Are you sure I’m ready? I’m not sure. Maybe in a year? These reactions aren’t innate. Men aren’t naturally more confident than women. We tell them to believe in themselves, and we tell women to doubt themselves. We tell them this in a million ways, starting when they’re young. We’ve got to do better. Every single one of us. What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?”
