A woman, if you're Most Intelligent or Most Likely to Succeed, that's an embarrassing thing. Or something that's not considered attractive, and I think that's what we need to change.

We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.

If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat! Just get on.

Women don't take enough risks. Men are just 'foot on the gas pedal.' We're not going to close the achievement gap until we close the ambition gap.

So please ask yourself: What would I do if I weren't afraid? And then go do it.

Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential.

Next time you're about to call your daughter bossy, take a deep breath and say, 'My daughter has executive leadership skills.'

In the future, there will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.

We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.

Leadership is not bullying and leadership is not aggression. Leadership is the expectation that you can use your voice for good. That you can make the world a better place.

Your life's course will not be determined by doing the things that you are certain you can do. Those are the easy things. It will be determined by whether you try the things that are hard.

I eat breakfast pretty much 'round the clock - muffins in the morning, scones for lunch, cereal at night - which may be odd but is also oddly satisfying, if only because the choice is my own.

Several people feel I have photographed God. May be.

Where there is simplicity, there are a hundred Angels, but where there is cleverness - there are none.

I don't write for a particular audience.

My parents couldnt be looser. It was the ultimate laissez faire upbringing.

Goals convert vision into ENERGY.

Caelum non animum mutant qui trans mare currunt. (They change their sky, not their soul, who rush across the sea.)

I was raised Catholic in Rockford, Illinois. But I'm not a practicing Catholic anymore. Oh God, no.

When I find a golf course or a restaurant or a market that I like, that's pretty much exclusively where I go.
