I am naïve and I have fucked up but I tell you something else. I believe in change. I don't mind getting my hands dirty because my hands are dirty already. I don't mind giving my life to this because I'm only alive because of the compassion and love of others. Russell Brand
About This Quote

We all have a deep-down belief in change. Deep down we believe that things can be different. That we can make a difference. But what happens when the world around us makes it clear that change is not possible? In these circumstances, no matter how much we want it to be true, our belief in change is crushed.

We become cynical and disheartened, and often lose hope. But when we accept this fact, when we realize that things will stay the same, we can still be hopeful. We can still try to make a difference.
