| The world is full of women blindsided by the unceasing demands of motherhood, still flabbergasted by how a job can be terrific and torturous. |
| The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself. |
| A finished person is a boring person. |
| If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all. |
| You cannot be really first-rate at your work if your work is all you are. |
