“I took my time, running my fingers along the spines of books, stopping to pull a title from the shelf and inspect it. A sense of well-being flowed through me as I circled the ground floor. It was better than meditation or a new pair of shoes- or even chocolate. My life was a disaster, but there were still books. Lots and lots of books. A refuge. A solace. Each one offering the possibility of a new beginning.”
― Beth Pattillo, Jane Austen Ruined My Life

“True forgiveness is when you can say, "Thank you for that experience.”
― Oprah Winfrey

“There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women.”
― Sheryl Sandberg, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead
