Everyone just talks about the problems our teenage girls are facing and what they're dealing with. But there was, to me, a void in how they were being served or helped. I thought, 'Wow, I'd love to create something.

Everybody liked better to conjecture how the thing was, than simply to know it; for conjecture soon became more confident than knowledge, and had a more liberal allowance for the incompatible.

George Eliot

Between the wish and the thing life lies waiting.

Proverb

For me, Art is the restoration of order. It may discuss all sort of terrible things, but there must be satisfaction at the end. A little bit of hunger, but also satisfaction.

Toni Morrison

Laura Riding

For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.

Theodore Roosevelt

To love is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Emily Dickinson

I hope to bring much more attention to important issues and change for issues and practices that are harming animals.

...it is in the nature of original contemporary art to present itself as a bad risk. And we the public...should be proud of being in this predicament, because nothing else would seem to us quite true to life; and art, after all, is supposed to be a mirror of life.

Leo Steinberg, Contemporary Art

Take, for example, the African jungle, the home of the cheetah. On whom does the cheetah prey? The old, the sick, the wounded, the weak, the very young, but never the strong. Lesson: If you would not be prey, you had better be strong.

G. Gordon Liddy

How many fools does it take to make up a public?

Sebastian Roch Nicolas Chamfort

With science fiction there's endless possibilities.

Anna Torv

One of the things that has been truly incredible to observe though, is the amount of venture investment that has gone into early stage security technology.
