Living in war is a co- existence with death.

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.

Respect your haters

Mothers have a huge influence on how their daughters view themselves and how they treat their bodies.

What we call emancipation is always and of necessity simply the free choice of the soul between one set of limitations and another.

Christ is the aperture through which the immensity and magnificence of God can be seen.

You look down when you talk to a headstone! When you talk to a live person, you look up! I'm still alive! So treat me like it! Look at me!

The beginning, middle, and end are parodied, reversed, and hidden by modernism, but not abandoned.

Architecture is bound to situation. And I feel like the site is a metaphysical link, a poetic link, to what a building can be.

I dont really watch a lot of TV, but I do watch Adventure Time, The Amazing World of Gumball, and Looney Tunes and old classic cartoons.

Any time a body goes outside the environmental conditions for which it developed it has to acclimate.

Love is enough: though the world be a-waning, And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining.
