Follow your dreams, believe in yourself and don't give up.

People in Third World countries think and laugh and smile, just like us. We have got to understand that we are them they are us.

I feel like I'm witnessing the systematic destruction of a people's ability to survive. It's horrifying.

We should be inspired by people... who show that human beings can be kind, brave, generous, beautiful, strong-even in the most difficult circumstances.

I want to be a lawyer, a dancer, an actress, a mother, a wife, a childrens author, a distance runner, a poet, a pianist, a pet store owner, an astronaut, an environmental and humanitarian activist, a psychiatrist, a ballet teacher, and the first woman president.

We are protecting civilians. We are unarmed. We are no threat to you. Please do not shoot.

Death smells like homemade applesauce as it cooks on the stove. It is not the strangling scent of illness. It is not fear. It is freedom.
