It is past time for women to take their rightful place, side by side with men, in the rooms where the fates of peoples, where their children's and grandchildren's fates, are decided.

The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a life time.

I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school.

You're beautiful

When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.

Kahlil Gibran

I don't really know why I care so much. I just have something inside me that tells me that there is a problem, and I have got to do something about it. I think that is what I would call the God in me.

Wangari Maathai

Nothing bad is going to happen to us. If we get fired, it's not failure; its a midlife vocational reassessment.

SOLITUDE AND SECLUSIONLife is an island in an ocean of solitude and seclusion.Life is an island, rocks are its desires, trees its dreams, and flowers its loneliness, and it is in the middle of an ocean of solitude and seclusion.Your life, my friend, is an island separated from all other islands and continents.

The sure mark of one born with noble qualities is being born without envy.
