“Never doubt that you can change history. You already have.”

Quotations by Margie Warrell (22)

Margie Warrell is a best selling author, international speaker on courage in leadership and media commentator. Here are some representative quotations by Margie Warrell:

“Acting bravely in small ways when it doesn't seem to matter so much is what enables you to build your courage for when it does.”

“Bravery won't always guarantee your success -- in work, in love and in life -- it will always precede it.”

“But who you become by the courage you've shown will always leave you better off. Stronger. Smarter. Braver. Bolder.”

“Courage is a habit and like all habits, it can be learned.”

“Courage isn't about fearless. It's taking action even though you're scared.”

“Courage isn't about fearlessness. It's taking action even though you're scared.”

“Every act of bravery stems from a decision to make a stand for something that's bigger than yourself and more important than your emotional comfort or pride.”

“Every possibility begins with the courage to imagine.”

“Face your fear and rise above it. When you acknowledge your fears, you dilute their strength.”

“Getting present to the sadness that pulls at your heart is both an act of courage, and an act of self-love.”

“Have courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”

“Knowing what you stand for is the foundation stone upon which bravery is built.”

“Leadership is the domain of anyone with the courage to act with it.”

“One act of raw courage at a time, one day at a time, over the passage of time you become what you do: brave, strong,selff-reliant annd equipped with everything it takes to pursue your great aspirations.”

“Only when those of us with the freedom to stand up, to speak up, and to champion for change find the courage to do so.”

“Pick it up whenever you have a moment to yourself, lay your hand on its cover and trust that whatever page falls open holds a message that's beckoning you to greater bravery in some aspect of your lie.”

“Sometimes bravery calls for rebellion.”

“The more often you act bravely, the more you grow your muscles for life.”

“The more you face your fear, stare it down and then step up right through the heart of it, the more you strengthen your faith in yourself and you courage for life.”

“To thrive in our culture of fear we must not let it set up residence in our lives.”

“When you consciously choose to say and do things outside your comfort zone, you build your 'courage muscles' for taking on bigger challenges and for responding more bravely to those that land unwanted in your lap.”

Quotations by Marguerite Duras (16)

Marguerite Duras was a French novelist, playwright, screenwriter, essayist and experimental filmmaker. Here are some representative quotations by Marguerite Duras:

“A house means a family house, a place specially meant for putting children and men in so as to restrict their waywardness and distract them from the longing for adventure and escape they've had since time began.”

“Acting doesn't bring anything to a text. On the contrary, it detracts from it.”

“Alcohol doesn't console, it doesn't fill up anyone's psychological gaps, all it replaces is the lack of God. It doesn't comfort man. On the contrary, it encourages him in his folly, it transports him to the supreme regions where he is master of his own destiny.”

“Alcohol is barren. The words a man speaks in the night of drunkenness fade like the darkness itself at the coming of day.”

“Fidelity, enforced and unto death, is the price you pay for the kind of love you never want to give up, for someone you want to hold forever, tighter and tighter, whether he's close or far away, someone who becomes dearer to you the more you've sacrificed for his sake.”

“For that's what a woman, a mother wants to teach her children to take an interest in life. She knows it's safer for them to be interested in other people's happiness than to believe in their own.”

“I think about you. But I don't say it anymore.”

“In homosexual love the passion is homosexuality itself. What a homosexual loves, as if it were his lover, his country, his art, his land, is homosexuality.”

“It has been my face. It's got older still, or course, but less, comparatively, than it would otherwise have done. It's scored with deep, dry wrinkles, the skin is cracked. But my face hasn't collapsed, as some with fine feature have done. It's kept the same contours, but its substance has been laid waste. I have a face laid waste.”

“It's afterward you realize that the feeling of happiness you had didn't necessarily prove that you loved him.”

“Journalism without a moral position is impossible. Every journalist is a moralist. It's absolutely unavoidable. A journalist is someone who looks at the world and the way it works, someone who takes a close look at things every day and reports what she sees, someone who represents the world, the event, for others. She cannot do her work without judging what she sees.”

“Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met.”

“People come to Paris, to the capital, to give their lives a sense of belonging, of an almost mythical participation in society.”

“The best way to fill time is to waste it.”

“The house a woman creates is a Utopia. She can't help it - can't help trying to interest her nearest and dearest not in happiness itself but in the search for it.”

“The thing that's between us is fascination, and the fascination resides in our being alike. Whether you're a man or a woman, the fascination resides in finding out that we're alike.”

“A humankind abandoned in its earlier formative stage becomes its own greatest threat to survival.”

“Discipline must come through liberty… We do not consider an individual disciplined only when he has been rendered as artificially silent as a mute and as immovable as a paralytic. He is an individual annihilated, not disciplined.”

“Free choice is one of the highest of all the mental processes.”

“Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.”

“If hope and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men.”

“The greatest source of discouragement is the conviction that one is unable to do something.”

“The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon.”

“The unknown energy that can help humanity is that which lies hidden in the child.”

“There can be no substitute for work, neither affection nor physical well-being can replace it.”

“To aid life, leaving it free, however, that is the basic task of the educator.”

“To stimulate life, leaving it then free to develop, to unfold, herein lies the first task of the teacher.”

“We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.”

“What advice can we give to new mothers? Their children need to work at an interesting occupation, they should not be helped unnecessarily, nor interrupted, once they have begun to do something intelligent.”

“When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education.”

“If our emotional stability is based on what other people do or do not do, then we have no stability. If our emotional stability is based on love that is changeless and unalterable, then we attain the stability of God.”

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be.”

“People with AIDS, cancer and other illnesses need free nonmedical support services.”

Like a snake shedding its skin, old feelings of remorse and regret and hurt and anger often have to come up in order to be released.

“Speak from your mind and people will hear you with their mind. Speak from your heart and people will hear you with their heart.”

“Take stock of your thoughts and behavior. Each night ask yourself, when were you negative when you could have been positive? When did you withhold love when you might have given it? When did you play a neurotic game instead of behaving in a powerful way? Use this process to self-correct.”

“The AIDS virus is not more powerful than God.”

“The beauty of personal authenticity can compensate for the lost beauty of our youth.”

“The entire political system is contrary to everything a feminine heart stands for. It lacks inclusion. It lacks tenderness toward children. It lacks honor for relationships. It lacks reverence for the earth. It lacks love. And without those things, the feminine psyche disconnects.”
