“I chose and my world was shaken. So what. The choice might have been mistaken, but choosing was not.”

“I am who I choose to be. I have always been what I chose, though not always what I pleased.”

“Now, it is frequently asserted that, with women, the job does not come first. What (people cry) are women doing with this liberty of theirs? What woman really prefers a job to a home and family? Very few, I admit. It is unfortunate that they should so often have to make the choice. A man does not, as a rule, have to choose. He gets both. Nevertheless, there have been women ... who had the choice, and chose the job and made a success of it. And there have been and are many men who have sacrificed their careers for women ...

Good or bad, give me credit for what I have done. I would rather go honestly to Hell, admitting that I leaped knowingly into error and folly, than enter into the sweetest Heaven men can dream of by whining that I had been pushed.”

“Yeah, but our choices are limited. We choose from a list that they chose for us." She said."Well, Choices are supposed to be limited. That's life" I snapped”
