“One. Word.
NO.
No is a powerful word. To me, it’s the single most powerful word in the English language. Said clearly, strongly and with enough frequency and force, it can alter the course of history.”
― Shonda Rhimes, Year of Yes

“Saying yes . . . saying yes is courage. Saying yes is the sun. Saying yes is life.”
― Shonda Rhimes, Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own Person

“So, I decide to treat saying no in the same way I treat saying thank you. Say no and then don't say anything else.
I come up with three different clear ways of saying no.
* "I am not going to be unable to do that."
* Zola gives me: "That is not going to work for me."
* And there's simply: "No.”

“Wonder Woman is not faking it. Wonder Woman means it. Wonder Woman is all swagger and badassery. Compliment”
