If that's an actual quote, I might have misunderstood a lot of what she said. When a video of the speech becomes available, I'll definitely be reviewing it with a more careful ear. It seemed that she was speaking from a viewpoint that I couldn't quite identify, and I came away with the impression that she was trying to tell us that how one looks is an appropriate basis for self-esteem.
However, I haven't noticed that courage and confidence go along with compassion. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding that as well.
