“Lahko rečem, da se trudim imeti kolikor toliko tekoč pregled nad družbenimi obveznostmi in pravicami, le odkar se zavedam jasno pojma o enakopravnosti med spoloma, sem v praksi nenehno v zadregi. Tako zaenkrat rešujem svoj »ženski problem« z genetično kondicijo in čarovniškimi metodami. Namreč zelo zanimiva je miselnost nas žensk samih. Ko sem nekoč nekaj malega razmišljala v spisu, ki je govoril o ženi, družini in otrocih ter vzgoji, in vse to skupaj objavila v reviji Otrok in družina, sem dobila tako neuporaben odgovor od tov. Beltramove, ki je v kratkem povzetku bil v tem: da naj bom srečna, ker imamo raztegljive nogavice, pralne stroje, električni štedilnik in politične pravice, ki jih ni imela nobena od mojih babic. Vrniva se nazaj k delu, ki me obvezuje, in k času, ki ga merimo s 24 urami. V tem času je čas, ki ga in kadar ga uporabim za ustvarjalno delo, vedno zamejen na ure, ko moji otroci zaspijo ali pa še spijo. Oba sta kratka še za tole pismo. (Pismo objavljeno v knjigi Med tradicijo in modernizmom: pričevanja o slovenski poeziji Franceta Pibernika, Ljubljana: Slovenska matica, 1978)”

“But as MLK Jr. said in his blueprint speech, "When you discover what you will be in your life, set out to do it as if God Almighty called you at this particular moment in history to do it. Don't just set out to do a good job. Set out to do such a good job that the living, the dead or the unborn couldn't do it any better.”

“Я оказалась среди чужих — я, чью физическую силу купили за определенную плату на определенное количество часов в день. Всё остальное во мне им было безразлично. А мне так сильно хочется самой распоряжаться своим временем вместо того, чтобы постоянно его продавать.”

“Labor Day honors the dignity of work and the enduring contributions of working people. It is dedicated to no single man, sect, or class, but to the tireless collective efforts of all who, through sweat, skill, and sacrifice, strive to build a better world—for ourselves, our children, and generations yet to come.”
