"Girls, if a boy says something that..." - Quote by Amy Poehler

“Girls have to fight against a lot of the same stuff we did growing up... peer pressure, exploitation, etc. But what worries me the most is this trend that caring about something isn't cool. That it's better to comment on something than to commit to it. That it's so much cooler to be unmotivated and indifferent.”

“There's only, like, five perfectly symmetrical people in the world, and they're all movie stars, and they should be, because their faces are very pleasing to look at, but the rest of us are just a jangle of stuff, and the earlier you learn that you should focus on what you have and not obsess about what you don't have, the happier you will be.”

“Nobody looks stupid when they are having fun.”

“Life is a big ol' canvas. And you have every combination of colors to paint with.”

“The purpose of an organization is to enable ordinary humans beings to do extraordinary things.”

“Do not be 'against' anything. Being 'against' weakens you.Be 'for' what you want. Being 'for' empowers you.”

“When you educate a girl, you begin to change the face of a nation.”

“When young girls are encouraged to explore what they find interesting, they grow up to be interesting women.”

“I get worried for young girls sometimes; I want them to feel that they can be sassy and full and weird and geeky and smart and independent, and not so withered and shriveled.”
