Quote

Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off. But if you don't have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you.

Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life the process is its own reward. Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And if they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
