“Freedom is actually a bigger game than power. Power is about what you can control. Freedom is about what you can unleash.”

“You can use power for good or bad, for control or freedom. You grew up watching your dad abuse it one way and it made you take the opposite direction. That's what we all think. Everything's about balance. That's what sustains life. Maybe your role is to keep your dad in check?”

“America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you’ve lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn’t belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don’t care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve.”

“Now you are no longer a giggling child, smiling at whoever comes along. You are a woman with power. Learn to control your smile, and you can control what men will think about you.”

“Where everyone is connected, the game-changer – the force multiplier - is collaboration. Collaboration unleashes the power of the many to do together what none can do alone.”

“Freedom ... is about how you can survive after things are taken from you. It is about the prospect of losing what you love and the effort it takes to continue.”
