“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.” - Roy Batty, Blade Runner

“The sun always shines above the clouds.”
Not famous as I’m not famous. But I was having a real bad time and taking off from a wet and grey London airport. Feeling like life was pointless. Then the plane broke the clouds and the sun streamed in on my window seat and I realised that the sun always shines above the clouds, you just have to climb up there to see it.
“My grandfather rode a camel, my father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes, my son rides a Land Rover, and my grandson is going to ride a Land Rover, but my great-grandson is going to have to ride a camel again.” - Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum
"You built an empire beyond imagining. The pinnacle of human achievement and the envy of the world. Did you think it would last? The eternal city. A glorious monument to power, culture and learning. But the Old Wolf lies wounded; by jackals; circled by vultures. Worried to death by a thousand, tiny vicious mouths— brought low by your own arrogance. These are the death throes of Rome. The light of civilisation dims and gutters. And if such precious time left to hide your women, for your children to cry, even at the moment of your final defeat you will take no comfort in oblivion. For I am coming for you. I RIDE WITH A MILLION WARRIORS! I BRING THE END OF DAYS!!. I AM!! THE SCOURGE!! OF GOD!!!. And I will watch your world… Burn. - Attila, King of Huns

However, you are not alone.
Generations of women in your family have chosen.
Women around the world have chosen.
We all have chosen at one time in our lives.
We stand behind you now screaming:
Choose to let go.
Choose dignity.
Choose to forgive yourself.
Choose to forgive others.
Choose to see your value.
Choose to show the world you’re not a victim.
Choose to make us proud.”

“There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes "What the hell is water?”
