“When I listened to her, I understood: You have to hold out to see how your life unfolds, because it is most likely beyond what you can imagine.

“And finally, to girls everywhere, I am with you. On nights when you feel alone, I am with you. When people doubt you or dismiss you, I am with you. I fought everyday for you. So never stop fighting, I believe you.”
