“I look down the farthest side of the mountain, fulfilled and understanding all, and truly content that I lived a full life and one that was my own choice”
“Any man who afflicts the human race with ideas must be prepared to see them misunderstood.”
“I will never be a stupid girl... and neither should you. Today, charting your own course isn't just more necessary than ever before... it's also much easier -- and much more fun. A good education is one of the greatest gifts you could ever give yourself.”
“Exposure to the arts and culture is enormously valuable.”
“Hope is a strange invention - A Patent of the Heart - In unremitting action Yet never wearing out”
“I am supposed to worry about oceans rising 70 years from now, on climate models that have already proven to be utterly flawed?”
“It's one thing for a man not to know, not to have learned; it's another not to be able to live by what one does know.”
“I went to university and I was a bit out of my depth, socially.”
