“As long as you continue to say the words “one day”, the dream is not over.”
― Michiko Aoyama, What You Are Looking for Is in the Library

“I know that now. Just as every day is equal in value and no less important than all the others. The day I was born, today as I stand here now and the many tomorrows to come.”
― Michiko Aoyama, What You Are Looking for is in the Library

“Women in particular are conditioned to overextend, overexplain, overapologize. We’re caretakers. Nurturers. Peacekeepers. We’re taught to be good girls, cool girls, to agree with everything and everyone, and to give Uncle Richard a big hug, for goodness’ sake, even if he makes us wildly uncomfortable. We’re taught to not be too much or want too much, so we learn to get used to being unsatisfied with our lives. We’re taught to meet everyone else’s needs before our own, and along the way we lose the opportunity to get to know who we really are, what we need, what we like and prefer.”
― Meg Josephson, Are You Mad at Me?

“This didn’t just come to you. It happened because you did something for yourself. You took action and that caused things to change around you.”
