• Women will not be free
  until we can speak our minds and our hearts
  without having to worry that men will crucify us,
  women will crucify us,
  the press will crucify us,
  or our children will be ashamed...
  Women are still in emotional bondage
  as long as we feel we have to make
  a choice between being heard
  and being loved.

  Marianne Williamson
