“For far too long we have been seduced into walking a path that did not lead us to ourselves. For far too long we have said yes when we wanted to say no. And for far too long we have said no when we desperately wanted to say yes. . . .

― Terry Tempest Williams, When Women Were Birds: Fifty-four Variations on Voice
