"Reforms are slow, but they never go backward."

-- Belva Ann Lockwood

“Our firm conviction that ours is a just cause and that we must find a peaceful way to attain our goals gave us the strength and the awareness of the limits beyond which we must not go.”
“If one wants to abide in the thought-free state, a struggle is inevitable. One must fight one's way through before regaining one's original primal state. If one succeeds in the fight and reaches the goal, the enemy, namely the thoughts, will all subside in the Self and disappear entirely.”
“I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.”
“Pray that thy last days, and last works may be the best; and that when thou comest to die, thou mayest have nothing else to do but die.”
“I find that one must accept the people in such a way as they are.”
“What I do know is that traditional gender roles are very real and flipping the norm is difficult for even the strongest, funniest, smartest men.”
“I believe the ability to measure with precision the degree of human activities' impact on the climate, is subject to more debate on whether the climate is changing or whether human activity contributes to it.”
“If I eat something a little crazy or if I feel sluggish, I know I have to eat better the next day and work out. I work out, I do circuit training so I try to keep my heart rate up whether I'm doing cardio, lifting weights or jumping rope. I like to mix it up. I also take Zumba classes - I love those, those are a blast.”
