Every art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.

Aristotle

I feel sorry... for people who've had skinny privilege and then have it taken away from them. I have had a lifetime to adjust to seeing how people treat women who aren't their idea of beautiful and therefore aren't their idea of useful, and I had to find ways to become useful to myself.

Beth Ditto

Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.

Oprah Winfrey

I remember when the wave of Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek and these beautiful Hispanic women came into light, and I looked up to them and I loved them, but I was like, 'Where are Middle Eastern women?'

Kim Kardashian

Fortune is painted blind, with a muffler afore her eyes, to signify to you that Fortune is blind

William Shakespeare

Life isn't easy, and leadership is harder still.

Walter Russell Mead

Elizabeth Bowen

Security in human systems we're told will always, always last. Emotions are the sail, and blind faith is the mast. Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast.

Gordon Sumner

A great statesman is he who knows when to depart from traditions, as well as when to adhere to them.

John Stuart Mill
