I believe that leadership acts should be manifested by engaging in external work that can be observed and shared with everyone else.

Sometimes you just have to jump off the cliff without knowing where you will land.

I firmly believe today that the only way to stop violence against women is to speak out and refused to be silenced.

Every woman must own her story; otherwise we are all part of the silence.

Leadership is not about having the charisma or speaking inspirational words, but about leading with example.

Everything can be taken from you in a second, but the human spirit is so strong. War can teach you so much about evil, and so much about good.

Women are not just victims; they are survivors and leaders on the community-level backlines of peace and stability.

It seems to me that violence against women has been tolerated for so long that the world has become numb to it.

Changes don't happen in the world by playing it safe, taking risks is the way to change the world.

The single thing all women need in the world is inspiration, and inspiration comes from storytelling.

Being a leader for me is about having the courage to speak the truth, and live the truth, despite attempts to silence our thoughts, feelings, and past experiences.

Celebrate every small achievement and gain strength for grandeur things.

Learning to treat ourselves lovingly may at first feel like a dangerous experiment.

It's not like I force myself to think of sad things, but... it's more that I make music because it makes me happy.

There is no happiness. There is only concentration.

Write. Write until it stops hurting.

Each flitch, each board, each plank can have only one ideal use. The woodworker, applying a thousand skills, must find that ideal use and then shape the wood to realize its true potential.

When politics is interesting, people go vote.

Being an editor doesn't make you a better writer - or vice versa. The worst thing any editor can do is be in competition with his writer.

Gratitude is the most important attitude.
