Change Quotes
-
For each project I do, I try to surprise myself, do the unexpected, and change my own status quo.

I think each of those projects makes me feel like we have progressed.

Women need to be empowered through the strongest tool - education. They don't need to be subservient to anyone, but at the same time, men must change their mindset towards women.

The mine which Time has slowly dug beneath familiar objects is sprung in an instant; and what was rock before, becomes but sand and dust.
Charles Dickens
