"Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for."
"I want to do something splendid … something heroic or wonderful that won't be forgotten after I'm dead."
"Just because my dreams are different than yours doesn’t mean they’re unimportant."
“I believe we have some power over who we love. It isn’t something that just happens to a person.”
"Why do you care what other people think? Are you not clever enough on your own?"
"Money is the end and aim of all things. A woman must have her own."
“Writing doesn’t confer importance, it reflects it.”
“I will not be the person you settle for just because you cannot have her.”
