“Nobody who has ever experienced the reality of poverty could say “it’s not the money, it’s the message”. When your flat has been broken into, and you cannot afford a locksmith, it is the money. When you are two pence short of a tin of baked beans, and your child is hungry, it is the money. When you find yourself contemplating shoplifting to get nappies, it is the money.” J.K. Rowling, "The Single Mother's Manifesto" ✪

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.” President Eisenhower, 1953 ✪

“Sometimes, I struggle with telling you the things I want to tell you. I want to stick my neck out and make you feel as special as you make me feel. So, when the moment strikes, I let it go.

And you’re gonna smirk.” "it's you" - Alma ✪

“‘absent minded’ means my mind is way too crowded to handle petty details.” Kelly Diels ✪
