“Destiny ... a word which means more than we can find any definitions for. It is a word which can have no meaning in a mechanical universe: if that which is wound up must run down, what destiny is there in that? Destiny is not necessitarianism, and it is not caprice: it is something essentially meaningful. Each man has his destiny, though some men are undoubtedly "men of destiny" in a sense in which most men are not.” IfsMenMeanRunningUniverseDestinyDefinitionsWoundsMeaningfulCaprice Author:T. S. Eliot
“I hate that we look at women who choose not to run a country as having given up. I get angry that, when a woman decides to hold off on gunning for a promotion because she wants to have a baby, other women whisper that 'she's throwing away her potential.' That is when we're not supporting our own. Who are we to put such a limited definition on success?” WantLooksCountryRunningHateGivenBabyI HateAngryDefinitionsThrowingPromotionGiven UpThrowing Away Author:Zosia Mamet
