I begin to think, that a calm is not desirable in any situation in life. Every object is beautiful in motion; a ship under sail, trees gently agitated with the wind, and a fine woman dancing, are three instances in point. Man was made for action and for bustle too, I believe.

No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half of its citizens.

Nine, nine... There have been nine men there for a long, long time, right? So why not nine women?

One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion.

No one changes the world who isn't obsessed.

Everyone shines, given the right lighting.
