Quote by Taylor Jenkins Reid

“No sabía lo que estaba haciendo y porque lo hacía, si no quería. () Así eran las cosas, se suponía que yo no era más que la inspiración para la gran idea de algún hombre. Pues a la mierda con eso. Por eso empecé a escribir mis propias canciones.()No tenía el más mínimo interés en se la musa de alguien. No soy una musa. Soy ese alguien. Fin de la maldita historia.”

“CHEMISTRY IS CHANGE, she wrote. Whenever you start doubting yourself, she said, turning back to the audience, whenever you feel afraid, just remember.

No more subscribing to others’ opinions of what you can and cannot achieve. And no more allowing anyone to pigeonhole you into useless categories of sex, race, economic status, and religion.

“What fundamentally distinguishes torture, understood in human rights terms, from the events these women have described is that torture is done to men as well as to women. Or, more precisely, when what usually happens to women as these women have described it happens to men, which it sometimes does, women's experience is the template for it, so those men, too, are ignored as women are. When the abuse is sexual or intimate, especially when it is sexual and inflicted by an intimate, it is gendered, hence not considered a human rights violation.”

“Our bodies are everything. They are the tools our mothers and their mothers used to end wars. Women have used their bodies to demand the right to vote, the right to work, the right to birth control, the right to safe working conditions, the right to choose, the right to equal funding for sports and education, and the right to say NO. Our bodies are agents of change.”

“Each step and every healthy bite takes us closer to well-being, closer to raw, unrepentant liberty at home, at work, in our neighborhoods, and within the confines of our own minds.”

“Before we can make seismic professional, economic, and sociological changes, we have to squeeze out of our Spanx and remember how it feels to breathe—with sweat in our eyes, air in our lungs, and music pouring boldly from our speakers.”
