Amitabh Bachchan "Because you are women, people will force their thinking on you, their boundaries on you. They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go. Don't live in the shadows of people's judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom." Sara Teasdale "When I can look life in the eyes, grown calm and very coldly wise, life will have given me the truth, and taken in exchange - my youth." Jerry Seinfeld "A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking." Marian Wright Edelman "We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee." |
