The way I ought to measure my life is in terms of the others I helped to become better and happier people. That's the biggest thing to think about if you're not happy.

There are many things that you can't measure. But the great fun of what I do for a living is figuring out ways to measure things that people previously considered intangible.

I have spent my years since Princeton, while at law school and in my various professional jobs, not feeling completely a part of the worlds I inhabit. I am always looking over my shoulder wondering if I measure up.

I had worked my whole life. Until I became a mother, that's the only way I measured my value.

I realized that I had screwed up my life living different parts of my life in different places. I wasn't whole. I wasn't integrated. I wasn't a complete person. And after that, came out, spent some time at a psychiatric hospital.

I do know one thing about me: I don't measure myself by others' expectations or let others define my worth.

I spent an awful lot of my life underestimating myself and, as a result, not exceeding my own expectations.

I'm really bad at describing my own life.

Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.

I've had times in my life when I really haven't been able to figure myself out.
