I'm a very serious person.
People learn to lead because they care about something.
Sexual, racial, gender violence and other forms of discrimination and violence in a culture cannot be eliminated without changing culture.
Feminism is a transformational force, an individual and social force. It is a way of looking at the world-a questioning of powerdomination issues, an affirmation of women's energy.
Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women's issues.
The state of the world today demands that women become less modest and dreamplanactrisk on a larger scale.
I'd make a comment at a meeting and nobody would even acknowledge me. Then some man would say the same thing and they'd all nod.
But without painful experiences, we dont grow
. . . you did not seem to me over-fond of money. And this is the way in general with those who have not made it themselves, while those who have are twice as fond of it as anyone else. For just as poets are fond of their own poems, and fathers of their own children, so money-makers become devoted to money, not only because, like other people, they find it useful, but because it's their own creation.
Things may not go to plan, but the unexpected throws up experiences and opportunities you had never dreamed of. I didn't get into Oxford the first time. I was absolutely heartbroken. Instead of going anywhere else I took a year out and reapplied. I wish I'd had some kind of framework for that year out, instead I worked in a Virgin Megastore. But looking back it taught me a lot, and meant my university experience was different, not worse. In the end, your grades aren't as important as the people you meet, and you can meet them anywhere.
Be talented enough to make it and stupid enough to keep trying.
