Quote by Marry Wollstonecraft

“Bu dünyada çeşitli biçimlerde karşımıza çıkan acıların büyük kısmı ana babaların ihmalkârlığından kaynaklanır; bunlar insanın doğuştan gelen hakkı olan kendi aklını temel alarak davranma hakkına, bu en doğal hakka en fazla direnen kişilerdir.”

“Isn't it amazing how those who walked this earth alongside us, breathing the same air, will be but distant echoes in the next 250 years? Yet, even 250 years ago, none among us were known, not even the most celebrated figures of our time. So why harbor envy or animosity towards that which was once nonexistent, and will soon fade away? Let us embrace the fleeting nature of existence and find solace in the beauty of each passing moment.”

“My unsolicited advice to women in the workplace is this. When faced with sexism or ageism or lookism or even really aggressive Buddhism, ask yourself the following question: “Is this person in between me and what I want to do? If the answer is no, ignore it and move on. Your energy is better used doing your work and outpacing people that way. Then, when you’re in charge, don’t hire the people who were jerky to you. If the answer is yes, you have a more difficult road ahead of you. I suggest you model your strategy after the old Sesame Street film piece, "Over! Under! Through!” (If you’re under forty, you might not remember this film. It taught the concepts of, “over,” and “under,” and “through” by filming toddlers crawling around an abandoned construction site. They don’t show it anymore because someone has since realized that’s nuts.) If your boss is a jerk, try to find someone above or around your boss who is not a jerk. If you’re lucky, your workplace will have a neutral proving ground- like the rifle range or a car sales total board of the SNL read-through. If so, focus on that. Again, don’t waste your energy trying to educate or change opinions. Go “Over! Under! Through!” and opinions will change organically when you’re the boss. Or they won’t. Who cares? Do your thing and don’t care if they like it.”
