Feminism is a way of thinking and being, not a way of dressing. You know a feminist by her gaze, not her neckline.
When I think about the future, I know that the most fantastic things are too awesome to even imagine today. Great entrepreneurs are like Indiana Jones: They take leaps before seeing the bridge because they know that if they don’t, someone else will get that holy grail. That holy grail is yours for the taking.
Unless you’re powered by an ungodly amount of spite, it’s pretty impossible to succeed while doing something that you genuinely hate.

Though there was no doubt I was depressed, I refused to take the pills that he prescribed, instead throwing them away.
