I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free.

I lost my dad way too early and it was agonisingly awful. I missed him so much and I hated knowing that I could never again pick up the phone to tell him about my day.

Monica Seles

If I wasn't dyslexic, I probably wouldn't have won the Games. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily... and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.

Bruce Jenner

There has come into existence, chiefly in America, a breed of men who claim to be feminists. They imagine that they have understood what women want and that they are capable of giving it to them. They help with the dishes at home and make their own coffee in the office, basking the while in the refulgent consciousness of virtue. Such men are apt to think of the true male feminists as utterly chauvinistic.

Germaine Greer

When you have done your best and still failed, use Cosmic Ordering.

Stephen Richards

It's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them.

Sheryl Sandberg

What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself.

Abraham Lincoln

'Why do we have to listen to our hearts?' <br/>'Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure.'<br/>'But my heart is agitated,' the boy said. 'It has its dreams, it gets emotional, and it's become passionate over a woman of the desert. It asks things of me, and it keeps me from sleeping many nights, when I'm thinking about her.' <br/>'Well, that's good. Your heart is alive. Keep listening to what it has to say.'

Paulo Coelho

It is better to excel in any single art than to arrive only at mediocrity in several, so moderate skill in several is to be preferred where one cannot attain to perfection in any.

Pliny The Younger

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

Lana Turner

A lobster, when left high and dry among the rock, does not have the sense enough to work his way back to the sea, but waits for the sea to come to him. If it does not come, he remains where he is and dies, although the slightest effort would enable him to reach the waves, which are perhaps within a yard of him. The world is full of human lobsters; people stranded on the rocks of indecision and procrastination, who, instead of putting forth their own energies, are waiting for some grand billow of good fortune to set them afloat.

Orison Swett Marden

You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.

Margaret Thatcher

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
