“Sometimes you have to accept how things are. You can make it easy on yourself, or you can make it hard. The choice is yours.”

“Work hard at your job and you can make a living. Work hard on yourself and you can make a fortune.”

“You can't always make good choices. Sometimes you have to settle for making a choice you can live with.”

“Shuki’s wisdom: "Sometimes things happen, and the only choice you have is to accept it, and learn to make a life anyway.”

“You think because you face situations not of your making that you exercise no choice? That you are helpless? To the contrary, child. Your whole life has been full of choices. Hiding from a hard truth is a choice. Surrender - even to the inevitable - is a choice. Even in death there is a choice. You may have no control over the time or manner of your death, but you can choose how you face it.”

“Feminism means having a choice. And feminism doesn't care which choices you make, either. Just that you have them. The point has never been to establish some principled refusal to give yourself to another human being. The point is to make sure you can give yourself--or not give yourself--of your free will.”
