“The passage of time – or so, at least, I fondly believe – has changed my furious Buxton resentments into mellower and more balanced opinions, but probably no ambitious girl who has lived in a family which regards the subservience of women as part of the natural order of creation ever completely recovers from the bitterness of her early emotions. Perhaps it is just as well; women have still a long way to travel before their achievements are likely to be assessed without irrelevant sex considerations entering in to bias the judgement of the critic, and even their recent political successes are not yet so secure that those who profit by them can afford to dispense with the few acknowledged feminists who are still vigilant, and still walk warily along once forbidden paths.”
– Vera Brittain, “Testament of Youth”

“To undo mistakes is always harder than not to create them originally, but we seldom have foresight. Therefore we have no choice but to try to correct our past mistakes.”
– Eleanor Roosevelt

“Sometimes you can do everything right and things will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right.”
– Angie Thomas
