“I have to demonstrate the appropriate amount of gratitude daily for being included on projects and grants that are full of my original ideas. I can’t take for granted that I’ve earned anything, because I never will, because everyone—even other women—are just waiting for me to prove everyone right, that I’m too young, too sensitive, too female to be worthy of my place at the table. They want my ideas, my research, but not enough to change the culture or be inconvenienced. Not enough to entertain the notion that I’m just another person, just like them.” Her voice lowered to a whisper. “I have to be faultless. I have to be perfect. I can’t afford mistakes.”
― Penny Reid, Laws of Physics: Time

“I know you are strong and capable of saving yourself, but even the strongest people need help. And on the days you feel like you're drowning, I want to be the one that saves you. Mentally or physically, I will always save you.”
