Thich Nhat Hanh has the ability to express some of the most profound teachings of interdependence and emptiness I've ever heard.

He's been one of the most significant carriers of the lamp of the dharma to the West that we have had. — Jack Kornfield
I used to cut out paper dolls. — Andy Warhol

Yes, we've cut the maternal mortality rate in half, but far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth, and laws don't count for much if they're not enforced.

And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed. — Hillary Clinton
In collage you're doing it in stages so you're not actually doing it right there. You first of all draw it on the paper, then you cut it up, then you paste it down, then you change it, then you shove it about, then you may paint bits of it over, so actually you're not making the picture there and then, you're making it through a process, so it's not so spontaneous. — Paula Rego
I've always written. At the age of six or seven, I would get sheets of A4 paper and fold them in half, cut the edges to make a little eight-page booklet, break it up into squares and put in little stick men with little speech bubbles, and I'd have a spy story, a space story and a football story. — Ian Rankin
This is everything to me. If I don't have this, I don't know what else I'll be doing. I personally have found where I belong. You can cut back to photos of me holding, uh, paper championships.
