Quote by Valentina D'Urbano

“« Anche tuo padre se potesse vederti sarebbe orgoglioso di te. » Non è vero. È una gran cazzata. Se potesse vedermi, mio padre si vergognerebbe di me. Si vergognerebbe perché ho scelto la strada più facile, quella che il mondo ci ha riservato da quando siamo nati. Ho scelto la strada facile e non ho neanche provato a imboccare quella difficile, quella che porta fuori, in qualche altro posto. Ho scelto insieme a te la strada che gira intorno, quella che non porta da nessuna parte e quando arrivi sei ancora al punto di partenza ed è come se non ti fossi mai mosso. Lui non sarebbe orgoglioso, sarebbe deluso. Ecco perché mai come in questo momento sono felice che non possa vedermi. Che non possa vederci.”

“In my world, you don’t get to call yourself “pro-life” and be against common-sense gun control — like banning public access to the kind of semiautomatic assault rifle, designed for warfare, that was used recently in a Colorado theater. You don’t get to call yourself “pro-life” and want to shut down the Environmental Protection Agency, which ensures clean air and clean water, prevents childhood asthma, preserves biodiversity and combats climate change that could disrupt every life on the planet. You don’t get to call yourself “pro-life” and oppose programs like Head Start that provide basic education, health and nutrition for the most disadvantaged children...The term “pro-life” should be a shorthand for respect for the sanctity of life. But I will not let that label apply to people for whom sanctity for life begins at conception and ends at birth. What about the rest of life? Respect for the sanctity of life, if you believe that it begins at conception, cannot end at birth.”

“In a world where we are encouraged to fake it, the first person you have to convince is yourself. Self-deception is the first step in an economy that thrives off the need to present such demeaning work as worthwhile. After that, everyone else is easier to fool.”

“Every step of ours holds the power to influence the world we live in. And by influencing the world I don't mean creating some online profile and posting some trending pictures and photographs in an effort to build a monetizable “influencer” image. A person can have a million followers on instagram by posting fake beauty or fashion content, but this only coaxes a bunch of possession-obsessed humans to buy more things than they need, it doesn't have any impact whatsoever on human progress in the long run – in short, the thing you call today influencing in the world of social media, is actually no influencing.”
