Women lose their lives not knowing they can do something different..." from Two or Three Things i Know For Sure

About This Quote

Women never learn that they can do something different. They think that the only way to get somewhere is to follow someone else. If she had known, she would have found a better way, but she did not. The same is true with men.

We think the only way to succeed is to “go along” with what everyone else is doing. We think the only way to meet people is through our jobs or through our hobbies. Men and women are both alike in this regard.

They don’t know they can do something different.
