Emma Thompson Quotes

We must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days are in fact here for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives Picture Quote #1

I want a different world. One where I don’t wake up thinking I’m so lucky to be able to feed my daughter, and able to give people a clean drink of water. I don’t want images of starving babies at the breast in my mind. I want that to change. And if I want that, I had better do something about it Picture Quote #1

I don’t think people understand that being poor means you have to work from dawn until dusk just to survive through the day.

It is remarkable how many misconceptions there are here about life in the developing world and I think that that knowledge gap has done a lot to contribute to the imbalance quite frankly Picture Quote #1

It’s about time a 55-year-old British woman is the heroine of an action movie. I may have to write it Picture Quote #1

I've a problem with the word charity because I think that NGOs, as I prefer calling them, really do take the work of moral and social responsibilities that ought to be taken on by governments Picture Quote #1

Constantly worrying about your reflection and criticizing your body, shape and size is an act of violence against yourself Picture Quote #1

London has always been a haven for victims of cruelty, and been improved by them. Yet I can see it changing now. Outsiders are demonised, there are little bits of legislation, people are scared Picture Quote #1

Maybe I don't take myself so seriously any more. and I don't care how I'm judged. I'm past all that Picture Quote #1
