I was all about my thoughts my work my inspiration. I was always in hair.

It is possible to demonstrate God's existence although not a priori yet a posteriori from some work of His more surely known to us.

Work joyfully and peacefully knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results.

Think of and look at your work as though it were done by your enemy. I you look at it to admire it you are lost.

Work as though you would live forever and live as though you would die today. Go another mile!

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

I'm so disturbed when my women students behave as though they can only read women or black students behave as though they can only read blacks or white students behave as though they can only identify with a white writer.

Men like women who write. Even though they don't say so. A writer is a foreign country.

I didn't want to set up a women's studies program. I thought women should learn to operate in a coeducational atmosphere because especially in national security and international affairs it's male-dominated.

I have to admit like so many women I always knew there was a chance. But like so many women I never thought it would be me. I never thought I'd hear those devastating words: 'You have breast cancer.'
