- "Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men."
- "All ambitions are lawful except those which climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind."
More In Courage
- "I don’t have a problem with my body. I don’t diet, and I’m not hiding anything. I’m not going to be the subject of a movie of the week 10 years from now."― Lara Flynn Boyle
- "Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow."― Dan Rather
- "And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It’s fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it’s not real. And it’s totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because I can."― Tom Felton
