Care Quote by Amy Poehler
“Education is power, it changes your whole life, it can create a life for yourself. So the more educated you are, the more you learn about what you care about, you become a more caring person. And if you can speak about what you care about to a person you disagree with, without denigrating or insulting them, then you may actually be heard. And you may even change their mind, or they may change yours.”

You can watch them throw around their "always"es and their "nevers" and "I'm the kind of person who..." and delight in the fact that you're past that point in your life. Feeling invisible…” quote by Amy Poehler](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/08b/amy-poehler-1084_adventure_on-getting-older-you-can-witness-young-p_130766.jpg)
