“Girls learn to smile early, and many cultures teach girls explicitly to “put on a
pretty face.” It is a way of soothing the people around us, a facial adaptation to the
expectation that we put others first, preserve social connections, and hide our
disappointment, frustration, anger, or fear. We are expected to be more
accommodating and less assertive or dominant. As girls’ smiles become less authentic,
so, too, does their understanding of themselves.”

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
