Steve Maraboli
“It would be ridiculous to hold your breath and blame others for your inability to breathe. In the same sense, it is ridiculous to live an unaligned life and blame God for your misfortune.”
Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

“Fear waters the weeds of regret.”

“When the world makes me feel like I am alone, love reminds me otherwise.”

Andrew Sean Greer
“So tell me gentleman, tell me the time and place where it was easy to be a woman.”
Andrew Sean Greer, The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells
