Quote by Paloma Faith

“Very few women who are my age are still selling records or making waves in the music industry (Sia wore a bag on her head and a wig to cover her face), and yet that's not because we no longer have things to say. Of course we do. I have so much to say and the experience to match it. It's because the media insist on focusing on a woman's age. The sooner we stop putting this ridiculous pressure on ourselves to be young forever and society learns to deal with the fact that women's faces will change as they get older, the better.”

“I think that a lot of the time, people are generous towards those whom they pity; but only find fault in those whom they see as better than themselves. There is a fake kind of goodness; and that is the goodness that is only good towards other people that make the givers feel better about themselves. Would you be good to someone you think is so much better than you are? Or who has so much more than you have? Or is your goodness only reserved for those who make you feel like a god because you give to them? Too often, there are shining, beautiful people, who suffer so much in this world, because there would be so many others willing to snuff out their flames! Goodness of a person is not measured by sympathy or compassion; rather, goodness is measured by empathy. Empathy goes beyond all the physical things you see with your two eyes. It’s easy to be good to those you pity; much harder to be good to those whom you envy!”

“The slave who cannot assume his revolt does not deserve pity. That slave alone is responsible for his misfortune if he deludes himself about the suspect condescension of a master’s false promise of freedom. Only struggle liberates, and we call on all our sisters of all races to rise up to regain their rights.”

“जहां रौब दिखाना हो, वहां बाराती बनकर आदमी पहुंच जाते हैं लेकिन जहां शरीर को तकलीफ देनी हो, जहां परीक्षा की सूली पर चढ़ना हो, वहां महिलाओ को आगे कर दिया जाता है। हमारी मासूम कौम पीढ़ी दर पीढ़ी इस राह पर आगे बढ़ती चली जा रही है।”

“ऐसा क्यों है कि अंधेरे में सुबह चार बजे मम्मी के साथ मैं, कुएं के ठंडे पानी से नहाने जाती हूँ। कार्तिक का महीना बहुत ठंड लिए रहता है। ऐसे में सारी तपस्या सिर्फ महिलाएं क्यों कर रही हैं? पापा और पापा की तरह सब पुरूष रजाई में क्यों सो रहे हैं? क्या उन्होंने कोई पाप नहीं किए? जवाब में परंपराओं का हवाला दे दिया जाता था। मुझे फक्र होता है उस शीक्षा पर, सवाल पूछने के अधिकार के उपयोग पर जो हमें सहज उपलब्ध था।”
