To celebrate the arrival of this stunning deluxe edition, we’ve collected some of our favorite quotes from Becoming. Which ones most inspire you?

“For me, becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn’t end.”

“Am I good enough? Yes I am.”

“Inspiration on its own was shallow; you had to back it up with hard work.”

“Do we settle for the world as it is, or do we work for the world as it should be?”

“If you don’t get out there and define yourself, you’ll be quickly and inaccurately defined by others.”

“It was one thing to get yourself out of a stuck place, I realized. It was another thing entirely to try and get the place itself unstuck.”

“There are truths we face and truths we ignore.”

“Bullies were scared people hiding inside scary people.”

“My job, I realized, was to be myself, to speak as myself. And so I did.”

“Friendships between women, as any woman will tell you, are built of a thousand small kindnesses… swapped back and forth and over again.”

“Failure is a feeling long before it becomes an actual result. It’s vulnerability that breeds with self-doubt and then is escalated, often deliberately, by fear.”

“Now I think it’s one of the most useless questions an adult can ask a child—What do you want to be when you grow up? As if growing up is finite. As if at some point you become something and that’s the end.”

“Happy seemed like a starting place for everything.”

“Time, as far as my father was concerned, was a gift you gave to other people.”

“At fifty-four, I am still in progress, and I hope that I always will be.”
