“Fear Does Not Crown Champions.”
“I think that the word 'ambitious' is still used in a derogatory way when it comes to women, in a way that it's not when it comes to men. It's a generalisation because not everyone is like this, but I think there's almost a love-hate relationship going on with successful women, where you can be a little bit successful and you'll be celebrated, but don't become too successful because that seems to bring out the hate in some cases.

This, at least, you teach me, In a revelation: That gods still snatch, as worthy death, the soul in its aspiration.”
