Charlie Chaplin // "Think of the power of the universe – turning the earth, growing the trees. That's the same power within you...if you'll only have the courage and the will to use it."
Barack Obama // "Michelle is a tremendously strong person, and has a very strong sense of herself and who she is and where she comes from. But I also think in her eyes you can see a trace of vulnerability that most people don't know, because when she's walking through the world she is this tall, beautiful, confident woman. There is a part of her that is vulnerable and young and sometimes frightened, and I think seeing both of those things is what attracted me to her."
Muhammad Ali // "What you're thinking is what you're becoming."

Albert Einstein // (Letter from young girl): "I forgot to tell you, in my last letter, that I was a girl. I mean I am a girl. I have always regretted this a great deal, but by now I have become more or less resigned to the fact. Anyway, I hate dresses and dances and all the kind of rot girls usually like... Long ago, before I wanted to become a scientist, I wanted to be a jockey and ride horses in races. But that was ages ago, now. I hope you will not think any the less of me for being a girl!" (Einstein): "I do not mind that you are a girl, but the main thing is that you yourself do not mind. There is no reason for it."
Sylvia Plath // "Go out and do something. It isn’t your room that’s a prison, it’s yourself."

Johnny Depp // "Growing old is unavoidable, but never growing up is possible. I believe you can retain certain things from your childhood if you protect them - certain traits, certain places where you don't let the world go."
