The future depends on what we do in the present.

Non-violence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed.

To practice nonviolence in mundane matters is to know its true value.

I truly believe that women should be financially independent from their men. And let's face it, money gives men the power to run the show. It gives men the power to define value. They define what's sexy. And men define what's feminine. It's ridiculous.

It's difficult because we live in a world that doesn't really respect the creative and intellectual contributions of women. It's more like 'Oh, you're so cute. Be quiet. Shhh, don't talk too much.

We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead.
