I'm a pragmatist. I think, as a woman, you have to be more careful. You have to be more communal, you have to say yes to more things than men, you have to worry about things that men don't have to worry about. But once we get enough women into leadership, we can break stereotypes down. If you lead, you get to decide.

I would love to meet J.K. Row...

I would love to meet J.K. Rowling and tell her how much I admire her writing and am amazed by her imagination. I read every 'Harry Potter' book as it came out and looked forward to each new one. I am rereading them now with my kids and enjoying them every bit as much. She made me look at jelly beans in a whole new way.

I probably shouldn't admit this since I work in the tech industry, but I still prefer reading paper books.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

When my mother took her turn ...

When my mother took her turn to sit in a gown at her graduation, she thought she only had two career options: nursing and teaching. She raised me and my sister to believe that we could do anything, and we believed her.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

I tell people in their career...

I tell people in their careers, 'Look for growth. Look for the teams that are growing quickly. Look for the companies that are doing well. Look for a place where you feel that you can have a lot of impact.'

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

There are really good reasons...

There are really good reasons to leave the workforce or work less or take a different job when you want to be with your children. I just want women - and men - to make that choice once they have the child. Not years in advance, because... they don't get the right opportunities. They give up before they even start.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

I am a bigger-picture manager...

I am a bigger-picture manager because I've lived through something that's a big picture.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

If you ask men why they did a...

If you ask men why they did a good job, they'll say, 'I'm awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking?' If you ask women why they did a good job, what they'll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

I love how when I say the wor...

I love how when I say the world is still run by men, and sometimes I say the world is still run by white men, people gasp as if that's news. That's not news. That's obvious.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

When you suffer a tragedy, th...

When you suffer a tragedy, the secondary loss of having it bleed into other areas of your life is so real.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

I believe very deeply that th...

I believe very deeply that the world would be a better place if it weren't run as it's currently run, which is by men.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

Our discomfort with female le...

Our discomfort with female leadership runs deep. We call little girls bossy. We never really call little boys bossy, because a boy is expected to lead, so it doesn't surprise or offend.

Judaism is my home. Judaism is super important to me, in death and in life.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

I don't pretend there aren't ...

I don't pretend there aren't biological differences, but I don't believe the desire for leadership is hardwired biology, not the desire to win or excel. I believe that it's socialization, that we're socializing our daughters to nurture and our boys to lead.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

I spent most of my career in ...

I spent most of my career in business not saying the word 'woman.' Because if you say the word 'woman' in a business context, and often in a political context, the person on the other side of the table thinks you're about to sue them or ask for special treatment, right?

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

Writing about joyful experien...

Writing about joyful experiences for just three days can improve people's moods and decrease their visits to health centers a full three months later.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

I'm not pretending I can give...

I'm not pretending I can give advice to every single person or every single couple for every situation; I'm making the point that we are not going to get to equality in the workforce before we get to equality in the home. Not going to happen.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

I really don't have any plan ...

I really don't have any plan to leave Facebook. I put it so many times on the record, and I just don't get what to do to say it as clear as possible: I'm staying in Facebook; I really love my job.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

As women get more powerful, t...

As women get more powerful, they get less likable. I see women holding themselves back because of this, but if we start talking about the success-likability penalty women face, then we can do something about it.

Sheryl Sandberg 203 quotes

At Facebook, we try to be a s...

At Facebook, we try to be a strengths-based organization, which means we try to make jobs fit around people rather than make people fit around jobs. We focus on what people's natural strengths are and spend our management time trying to find ways for them to use those strengths every day.
