I just started to see the world as it really is and it completely shocked me and changed my opinion on everything.. on life and my values and certainly my own sense of self.

If you become aware of a public self, you're in danger of becoming a very artificial person.

If every choice you make comes from an honest place, you’re solid and nothing anybody can say about you can rock you or change your opinion. It doesn’t shake me because I know why I do the things I do and I know I come from a good place and so people can judge me however they wish. But I know I’ll continue to do the best I can and be the best I can.

It's just person after person in every different country that has a life that I can’t even imagine and has gone through horror that I can’t even imagine.

There is so much more to understand.

Violence against women is still treated as a lesser crime. Armed groups turn it into a weapon of choice because of near total impunity.

The great thing about having a bunch of kids is that they just remind you that you're the person who takes them to go poop. That's who you are!
