“The discontent and frustration that you feel is entirely your own creation.”
― Stephen Richards, Think Your way to Success: Let Your Dreams Run Free

“I’m not good. I don’t know why people have to pretend to be good, nobody’s good.”
― Tennessee Williams, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

“Over and over again, stories in women's magazines insist that women can know fulfillment only at the moment of giving birth to a child. They deny the years when she can no longer look forward to giving birth, even if she repeats the act over and over again. In the feminine mystique, there is no other way for a woman to dream of creation or of the future. There is no other way she can even dream about herself, except as her children's mother, her husband's wife.”
― Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique

“Beauty and ingenuity beat perfection hands down, every time.”
― Nalo Hopkinson, Sister Mine
