Oprah Winfrey: 'I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.'
Eleanor Roosevelt: 'I could not, at any age, be content to take my place by the fireside and simply look on. Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
Katherine Hepburn: 'If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.'

Angelina Jolie: 'Figure out who you are separate from your family, and the man or woman you're in a relationship with. Find who you are in this world and what you need to feel good alone.

Madonna: 'I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.
