“I've always been a MC that wrote socially and politically aware songs, although I listen to all types of hip-hop. This time around I got tracks that make me say "Tupac Shakur would be proud."” SongProudTrackBe Proud Author:Speech Debelle

“Wisdom is the ability to read between the lines, listen out for messages that the universe gives us. I've been taught that that is true knowledge and that is completely different to the way we are programmed to learn. We are trained to be able to put the right answer with the right question. We don't really have to know the answer.” GivingDifferentUniverseAbilityTrue Knowledge Author:Speech Debelle

“More education for women. More jobs for women. More equal opportunities for women. More women to be taken seriously. And I think more than anything we wish to be heard and not to be shut down. I think this is a good thing to think about for any community; what is important is that our voices be heard and not swallowed in an abyss of history.” ThinkingImportantOpportunityWishCommunityTakenEqualGood ThingsAbyssEqual Opportunity Author:Lady Gaga
“I hope to see women thriving and happy, loving what they're doing, and being in control and powerful of what they create. I guess what I would say is, as much as we all love the fashion and the makeup and the glamour, this isn't a beauty pageant. It's about the heart and the drive and the work. Of course, it's lovely to dress up and compliment one another and feel good - but that shouldn't be the very first thing.” HeartPowerfulFashionLovelyFeel GoodMakeupComplimentGlamourPageant Author:Lady Gaga

“In fact, everywhere in the world there has been a flux between big and small societies. Big political units are constantly being formed, later to fragment. The individual pieces try to pull apart, and then they join together again. One sees that in Europe: There have been unifications and then dissolutions and reunifications. So in the long run, it's 10,000 steps toward amalgamation offsetting 9,999 steps toward falling apart again. In businesses and industries, I would guess that's also true.” WorldTryingLongRunningTogetherPoliticalFallIndividualFalling Apart Author:Jared Diamond
“My career has taken so many different paths to this point that I've come to realise that we're all the same, everywhere I've been. We're all just creatures trying to tell stories as good as we can, so whether that's in a tiny theatre or as part of the biggest multi-million dollar film, we're all still just trying to tell a good story at the end of the day.” TryingDifferentFilmPathTakenTheatreRealising Author:Mireille Enos
“I was writing everything. I grew up in Albany, New York, and I was never any farther west than Syracuse, and I wrote Westerns. I wrote tiny little slices of life, sent them off to The Sewanee Review, and they always sent them back. For the first 10 years I was published, I'd say, "I'm a writer disguised as a mystery writer." But then I look back, and well, maybe I'm a mystery writer. You tend to go where you're liked, so when the mysteries were being published, I did more of them.” WritingMystery Author:Donald E. Westlake
