“Would that there were an award for people who come to understand the concept of enough. Good enough. Successful enough. Thin enough. Rich enough. Socially responsible enough. When you have self-respect you have enough.”

“I found that female pathfinders generally integrate characteristics commonly associated with being women - like the capacity to be intimate - with 'male' ones like ambition and courage.”
Gail Sheehy“I do think taking the 20s to take the most chances you can is important, because you're not going to hurt anyone else during that time. And if you do have a partner, you need a couple years to rehearse that relationship.”
Gail Sheehy“We really only have two choices. Play it safe, or take a chance. For me, pulling back because of fear has always made me feel worse.”
Gail Sheehy“When men reach their sixties and retire, they go to pieces. Women go right on cooking.”
Gail Sheehy“Being a pathfinder is to be willing to risk failure and still go on.”
Gail Sheehy“In my memoir, I admit that I've been as fearful of success as of failure. In fact, when 'Passages' was published, I so dreaded bad reviews that I ran away to Italy with a girlfriend and our children to hide out.”
Gail Sheehy“Transformation also means looking for ways to stop pushing yourself so hard professionally or inviting so much stress.”
