People say we can't do anything about the way the world is; they say it's set in stone. I say it looks like stone, but it's mostly paint and cardboard.

About This Quote

I don't know what it is about the world we live in. It seems like it's all made up of cardboard and paint; people say we can't do anything about the way it is, and they're probably right. But I say that we can make it different, and we will. We can make our own little part of the world a better place.
