“It’s funny to me that power comes from sitting behind a desk. It should come from spending yourself.”

“Food should come from the place of its origin, and stay there. It shouldn't spend its time crisscrossing the globe for the sake of profit.”

“A woman's sense of self and power should come not from the number of heads she can turn, but rather from the minds and hearts she can turn.”

“There was a sergeant at a desk. I knew he was a sergeant because I recognized the marks on his uniform, and I knew it was a desk because it's always a desk. There's always someone at a desk, except when it's a table that functions as a desk. You sit behind a desk, and everyone knows you're supposed to be there, and that you're doing something that involves your brain. It's an odd, special kind of importance. I think everyone should get a desk; you can sit behind it when you feel like you don't matter.”

“Real power comes not from hate, but from truth.”
