“We’ll be glad when you recall our heroines and authors, when your powers fade and you start to doubt yourselves. When you’re deciding whether to speak up when others are silent, whether to go with the flow or stand up in opposition. Whether it makes sense to fight when others have given up the struggle, and whether to live your life according to your own ideas, or according to the ideas of others.”
