I am strong, determined, impulsive, happy, and emotional.

Women’s loyalty has to be earned with trust and affection, rather than barbaric rituals. The time has come to leave the old ways of suffering behind

My mother named me after a miracle of nature: Waris means desert flower. The desert flower blooms in a barren environment where few living things can survive.

Because women and girls are not valued equally as human beings, they are treated as less than such. Female genital mutilation is one example of this that has to be stopped.

Every day, women move mountains. It is an insult to have an international women's day.

Give love and share happiness with the people around you, and never give up fighting for what you believe in.

I love the truth. Tell the truth and live the truth, because we've seen enough lies and look what it's doing.

I always knew, from the very day of my own mutilation, that I would one day fight against this practice. I did not know how and when, but I knew that I would fight it.

I know what I am fighting for. I am fighting for the most basic rights of innocent children. And that is why I never take the criticism too deep under my skin.

We need to empower women: provide them with work for their own income, and teach them to become independent of men so they will never have to have their children suffering the same torture.

Sometimes I wonder where I am from. I am either way ahead or I come from another world. I don't recognise this world.

I think about my father and how sad it was that he never had grandchildren.

When diving to attack always leave a proportion of your formation above to act as top guard.

Justin Bieber is a douche bag. Now that I have your attention, let's talk about cars.

My thing is just staying positive. Find that thing you love doing and dedicate yourself to it. You're going to have to sacrifice a lot of things if you want to achieve the goals you want to achieve.

Sports is good for health and for children, it gives them manhood, courage, teaches them team work and coordination. Sports is something that is so crucial, it makes everything.

It feels like I'm starting to come into my own in terms of where I want to go artistically, toward more complicated, interesting characters.

If you can't be direct, why be?

The kind of churches we played in, it wasn't about how good you could play your instrument, it was about how much you enjoyed playing your instrument.

Thinking is the soul talking to itself.

Recognition of function always precedes recognition of being.
