Tori Amos

I don't mind a dirty girl. But what I find tragic is when we, as women, become not the subject of our own story but someone else's object.

When you don't have people in your life pushing you, can you push yourself?

What girls do to each other is beyond description. No chinese torture comes close.

I was good at being a doctor; my patients liked me. At times people trust you with things they wouldn't tell their spouses. It was a real privilege.

It's a rare moment when we take a break from the tribulations of the daily rat race to reflect on assumptions and values that we casually accept as gospel.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
