I have come to understand that in order to effectively advance women's rights, we need to galvanize a global women's movement.

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.

I've managed to stay alive out here in the Ruin because I'm a realist. I allow the truth to be the truth, no matter how much I might want it to be something else.

I failed!I went on changing the world without changing myself.

Society may predict, but only I can determine my destiny.

It may be meaningless, but at least it's a gesture.

There was this kind of mildly annoying mythology about conductor Like biker should riding a Harley-Davidson on an LP cover, and wearing a sort of a leather suit.

Love is a modest and immodest teacher who will bring you through the school of existence, which is the heart.

After enlightenment, the laundry.

You must be on top of change or change will be on top of you.

I'm coming from journalism, but at the same time I'm tempted by poetry, politics, and maybe the idea of being a witness, a belief that you can still change things with the image.

There are some people whom you have in life who have the capacity for real, passionate commitment to something, and sometimes you may be passionately committed to the same thing.
