Karl Pilkington // "If I had to give up my mouth or my ears, I'd definitely get rid of my mouth. You learn nothing from your own talking. I know everything I'm going to say, I never surprise myself."
Marjory Stoneman Douglas // "Don’t think it is enough to...sit there like a lump. Be a nuisance where it counts... Do your part to inform and stimulate the public to join your action. Be depressed, discouraged and disappointed at failure and the disheartening effects of ignorance, greed, corruption and bad politics...but never give up."
Paul Newman // "I check my pulse and if I can find it, I know I've got a chance."
Noam Chomsky // "Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so. If you assume there's no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom...there are opportunities to change things, there's a chance you may contribute to making a better world. The choice is yours."
Richard Feynman // "I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything."
Charles Bukowski // "Nobody can save you but yourself. You will be put again and again into nearly impossible situations. They will attempt again and again...to make you submit, quit and/or die quietly inside...and it will be easy enough to fail...but don't, don't, don't. Just watch them. Listen to them. Do you want to be like that? A faceless, mindless, heartless being? Do you want to experience death before death? Nobody can save you but yourself and you're worth saving. It's a war not easily won but if anything is worth winning then this is it. Think about it. Think about saving yourself."
Sade Adu // "The anxiety I feel when I'm late is nothing like the anxiety I feel when I'm on time."
Muhammad Ali // "I’m gonna show you how great I am."
Ernest Hemingway // "Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry: Worry never fixes anything."
James Baldwin // "The paradox of education is precisely this – that as one begins to become conscious, one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated." . @marchforourlives
David Bowie // "And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds; are immune to your consultations, they are quite aware of what they are going through." . @marchforourlives
Sam Haskins // "A photographer went to a socialite party in New York. As he entered the front door, the host said 'I love your pictures...they're wonderful; you must have a fantastic camera.' He said nothing until dinner was finished, then: 'That was a wonderful dinner; you must have a terrific stove."
