Miriam Shor quotes:

I feel like your generation is like, "We deserve a place at this table, we have a right to be here," whereas when I was in my 20s I was like, "Who am I?" It's exciting because I do see a lot of young women feeling empowered.

Travel. You need to know you're a citizen of the world.

I do feel like especially nowadays, we are inundated with the message that, "Oh my god, you aren't making your own clothes? You didn't make your own bread? And you also don't have a career and you don't look unbelievable and you have 5 pounds on your frame? Where is your book that you haven't published yet?"

I do feel like once you know you are someone who is in the world and there are other countries and cultures, that stays with you and your decision-making forever.

I think about that with kids - you want to do everything for them, but you realize if you do everything and you make it easy on them, they won't learn anything and then they will walk around life needing their mamas all the time, and that isn't attractive.

I was just shitty, shitty, shitty with money and I finally, when I really started making money, I had to get somebody to sit down with me and learn how to manage my money.

If it's truly a passion and it's truly something you believe in, then you need to do it.

So many people are paralyzed by worrying, "What are these people going to think?"

You can't just wait for everybody to give you approval - you will just be waiting.
