"Plenty of liquor—we’ll make it."

"The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me."

Ayn Rand

"Most of you say you want to be successful, but you don’t want it bad. You just kind of want it. You don’t want it badder than you want to party. You don’t want it as much as you want to be cool. Most of you don’t want success as much as you want to sleep. Some of you love sleep more than you love success. If you’re going to be successful you’ve got to be willing to give up sleep. You’ve got to be willing to work off of three hours, two hours-if you really want to be successful some days you’ve got to stay up three days in a row. Because if you go to sleep you might miss the opportunity to be successful. You’ve got to want it that bad."

"There is a dangerous myth going around this country that sexism doesn’t exist anymore, that we have gotten past it and that “alarmist” feminists are an outdated nuisance. Warnings like, “Oh, watch out—Here comes the feminazi!” abound in our culture, as if for a woman, entitling yourself to an opinion puts you on par with followers of the Third Reich."

Margaret Cho, “Bitchfest” (via heroes-or-victims)

"And I have a lot of self-esteem, which is amazing, because I’m probably somebody who wouldn’t necessarily have a lot of self esteem as I am considered a minority and if you are a woman, if you are a person of color, if you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, if you are a person of size, if you are person of intelligence, if you are a person of integrity, then you are considered a minority in this world. And it’s going to be really hard to find messages of self-love and support anywhere. Especially women’s and gay men’s culture. It’s all about how you have to look a certain way, or else you’re worthless. You know, when you look in the mirror and think, ‘Ugh, I’m so ugly, I’m so fat, I’m so old.’ Don’t you know that’s not your authentic self? But that is billions upon billions of dollars of advertising. Magazines, movies, billboards, all geared to make you feel shitty about yourself, so that you will take your hard earned money and spend it at the mall on some turn-around crème that doesn’t turn around shit. If you don’t have self-esteem, you will hesitate before you do anything in your life. You will hesitate to go for the job you want to go for. You will hesitate to ask for a raise. You will hesitate to call yourself an American. You will hesitate to report a rape. You will hesitate to defend yourself when you are discriminated against because of your race, your sexuality, your size, your gender. You will hesitate to vote; you will hesitate to dream. For us to have self-esteem is truly an act of revolution, and our revolution is long overdue."

Margaret Cho, Notorious C.H.O. (via james-the-white-rabbit)

"If there were a little more silence, if we all kept quiet…maybe we could understand something."

Federico Fellini

"I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life, is to end up with people who make you feel all alone."

"If you’re going to make the wrong decision, make it for a good reason."
