“God would have never granted women a voice if he intended for them to remain silent. God knew that Adam, and our world, would need the voice and influence of women.”

“When it over, I want to say:all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was a bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
When it's over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular,and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.
