“Putting on the collar is taking charge of unexpected situations. Keeping humans from taking control from me. To tell hunters that I'm not prey. Not a trophy by wearing the collar. I looked at the circlet again. Looking deeper, I see not subjugation, but a tool of power to control my fate in the world of man that symbolizes my ownership over both my nature spirit and wolf-self.”
― Jazz Feylynn, Colorado State of Mind

“The worst thing that can happen to you as a young person, is to refuse to grow up. You refuse to grow up when you believe that someone else must take responsibility for your life and life circumstances.”

“You needn't instruct me to think about my children's welfare," Phoebe said quietly. "I've always put them first, and always will. As for me being a child... I'm afraid I'm not nearly enough like one." A faint smile touched her lips. "Children are optimistic. They have a natural sense of adventure. To them, the world has no limitations, only possibilities. Henry was always a bit childlike in that way- he never became disenchanted with life. That was what I loved most about him."
"If you loved Henry, you will honor his wishes. He wanted Edward to have charge of his family and estate."
"Henry wanted to make sure our future would be in capable hands. But it already is."
"Yes. Edward's."
"No, mine. I'll learn everything I need to know about managing this estate. I'll hire people to help me if necessary. I'll have this place thriving. I don't need a husband to do it for me. If I marry again, it will be to a man of my choosing, in my own time. I can't promise it will be Edward. I've changed during the past two years, but so far, he doesn't see me for who I am, only who I was. For that matter, he doesn't see how the world has changed- he ignores the realities he doesn't like. How can I trust him with our future?"
Georgiana regarded her bitterly. "Edward is not the one who is ignoring reality. How can you imagine yourself capable of running this estate?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Women aren't capable of leadership. Our intelligence is no less than men's, but it is shaped for the purpose of motherhood. We're clever enough to operate the sewing machine, but not to have invented it. If you asked the opinions of a thousand people whether they would trust you or Edward to make decisions for the estate, whom do you think they would choose?"
"I'm not going to ask a thousand people for their opinions," Phoebe said evenly. "Only one opinion is required, and it happens to be mine." She went to the doorway and paused, unable to resist adding, "That's leadership."
And she left the dowager fuming in silence.”
― Lisa Kleypas, Devil's Daughter

“Jannit liked Jenna, who reminded her of how she had been as a girl: a confident, taking-charge kind of person. That was how girls should be.”
― Angie Sage, Fyre

“Actions without a dream serve you no purpose, Dreams without action merely pass the time, however, a Dream set into motion….the future has no boundaries.”
― Mark W Boyer

“I have often thought that Walter Mitty had it in him to be more than a hen-pecked loser. Instead of living it up as a flamboyant daredevil in his dreams, he could have chosen to be a responsible man in real life, going about his work with dignity, and people may just have treated him with respect. Did his failures in life lead him to seek solace in daydreams or did his wandering mind stand in the way of his potential success? One must have triggered the other, and then it would have been both working together. An empty life drives you to fantasies of fulfilment, which then form a deadly, vicious circle which can turn you into a cartoon, as it did poor Mitty. Or lead you to ruin like Madame Bovary.”
― Indu Muralidharan, The Reengineers

“Winners take charge. Whatever you cannot master will become your master.”
― Benjamin Suulola

“The knowledge of his or her state of serfdom never set a slave free, though a good start it is. It is actually finding the way to be free is what does it. - On Freedom”
― Lamine Pearlheart

“It is true that we are the descendant of our circumstances, but is also true that we are the patrons of own improvement. Blaming the past without taking charge of the present is like driving a car cursing the rear-view mirror and shutting our eyes to the road ahead. - On Self Fulfillment”
― Lamine Pearlheart, Walking the Soul

“This is what happens when we band together." She pointed at the cup. "When we work as a unified crew. This is what we are capable of." The more she spoke, the stronger her voice grew. "This cup proves that together, this kitchen can be great enough to best the king's own cooks."
She squared her shoulders and whispered a silent prayer. "Now you have to decide what you want. Because you only have one choice. Either you work with me, or you don't work at all. Not in the queen's kitchen."
The meat assistant looked at her blankly. "You can't do that."
"I can. That's what Cook means when he says I am in charge. Your behavior--- yours and the rest of the assistants--- has not been disrespectful of me alone. You have disrespected the Cook, who made the decision in the first place. And you have disrespected the queen, who has had to eat at your handiwork. I might put up with what you do to me. But I will not put up with that."
She pointed to the gold cup again. "You can be a part of that. You can help me create great things. Or you can leave. Consider carefully before you choose.”
― Tessa Afshar, The Queen's Cook

“For a moment, I could pretend I was the captain of my own fate.”
― Heidi Heilig, The Girl from Everywhere
