Michaela’s Quotes

“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”
― Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

“You ask a lot of little kids today what they want to be when they grow up and they say "I want to be famous." You ask them for what reason and they don't know or care. I think Andy Warhol got it wrong: in the future so many people are going to become famous that one day everybody will end up being anonymous for fifteen minutes.”
― Banksy
