I don't want to be someone in my sixties holding on to a group that I created when I was in my twenties.

I don't have a child, so Women for Women is like my child. But I always said I would step down after 20 years. I didn't want to be a 60-year-old woman holding on to something I created when I was 23.

Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.

You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.

There is only what you want and what happens. There is only grabbing on and holding tight in the darkness.

What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary.
