"When young girls are encouraged to explore..." - Quote by Amy Poehler

“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.”

“Watching great people do what you love is a good way to start learning how to do it yourself.”

“I worked at an ice cream parlor called Chadwicks. We wore old-timey outfits and had to bang a drum, play a kazoo, and sing 'Happy Birthday' to people while giving them free birthday sundaes. Lots of ice cream scooping and $1 tips.”

“Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who's sorry for a gnat or girl?”

“I'm just glad we live in a world where girls can play soldiers.”

“I’m convinced that a world in which girls are educated is a safer, more stable, more prosperous place.”

“Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.”

“We are the change we have been waiting for.”

“If your a leader, do everything you can to grow yourself and create the right environment for others to grow.”
