“Fake confidence on the outside, as I will later learn, often trumps truthful turmoil on the inside.” – pg. 58

“There was a price to be paid for a culture that idealizes the relentless pursuit of, ‘self.'” – pg. 65

“I do the best job I can and then let the results be what they will. I am out of the people-pleasing business.” – pg. 264

“Say yes to any opportunity to grow and/or do good work. You never know where it will lead or who might be paying attention.” – pg. 266

“If you can’t get honest with yourself, if you can’t look yourself in the mirror, no matter how much money they pay you, or how much you are lauded, you are literally putting your life at risk.” – pg. 271
