But there are many ways to be powerful. There is power in stillness. There is power in watching, waiting, saying the right thing at the right time to the right person. There is power in being a woman---oh yes, power in these bodies you gaze upon with derision.

About This Quote

In a world that is often defined by its power, the greatest power of all is the power of words. The power to make art and tell stories can be all-powerful. But it is not an easy thing to do. To speak truth sometimes requires sacrifice and pain. It requires strength, courage, and determination.
