Clemantine Wamariya
“Nobody is who you think they are at first glance. We need to see beyond the projections we cast onto each other. Each of us is so much grander, more nuanced, and more extraordinary than anybody thinks, including ourselves.”
― Clemantine Wamariya, The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After

Rachel Hollis
“You are allowed to want more for yourself for no other reason than because it makes your heart happy. You don’t need anyone’s permission, and you certainly shouldn’t have to rely on anyone’s support as the catalyst to get you there.”
― Rachel Hollis, Girl, Stop Apologizing: A Shame-Free Plan for Embracing and Achieving Your Goals

Clemantine Wamariya
“I've seen enough to know that you can be a human with a mountain of resources and you can be a human with nothing, and you can be a monster either way.”
― Clemantine Wamariya, The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After

Daniela Sacerdoti
“Beside her I felt grey, like she had all the colours I'd ever need.”
― Daniela Sacerdoti, Take Me Home

Michel Onfray
“You cannot kill a breeze, a wind, a fragrance; you cannot kill a dream or an ambition.”
― Michel Onfray
