23 Amy Poehler Quotes You Should Live By

1. "I think we should stop asking people in their twenties what they 'want to do' and start asking them what they don’t want to do. Instead of asking students to 'declare their major' we should ask students to 'list what they will do anything to avoid.' It just makes a lot more sense.”

2. "I believe great people do things before they are ready."

3. "Going from crying to laughing that fast and hard happens maybe five times in your life, and that extreme right turn is the reason why we are alive, and I believe it extends our life by many years."


4. "The robots will kill us all."


5. "Emotions are like passing storms, and you have to remind yourself that it won’t rain forever. You just have to sit down and watch it pour outside and then peek your head out when it looks dry."


6. "A bossy woman is someone who cares and commits and is a natural leader."


7. “However, if you do start crying in an argument and someone asks why, you can always say, 'I'm just crying because of how wrong you are.'"


8. "Nobody looks crazy when they're having fun."


9. "People are their most beautiful when they are laughing, crying, dancing, playing, telling the truth, and being chased in a fun way."


10. "Telling me to relax or smile when I’m angry is like bringing a birthday cake into an ape sanctuary. You’re just asking to get your nose and genitals bitten off."


11. "Ignore what other people think. Most people aren't even paying attention to you."

12. "Please don’t drive drunk, okay? Seriously. It’s so f*cked up. But by all means, walk drunk. That looks hilarious. Everyone loves to watch someone act like they are trying to make it to safety during a hurricane."


13. "It takes years as a woman to unlearn what you have been taught to be sorry for."


14. "It’s very hard to have ideas. It’s very hard to put yourself out there, it’s very hard to be vulnerable, but those people who do that are the dreamers, the thinkers, and the creators. They are the magic people of the world."

15. "There's power in looking silly and not caring that you do."


16. "The only way we will survive is by being kind. The only way we can get by in this world is through the help we receive from others. No one can do it alone, no matter how great the machines are."


17. "People are not medicine."


18. "Sticking up for ourselves in the same way we would one of our friends is a hard but satisfying thing to do."

19. "Sleep can completely change your outlook on life."

20. "Continue to share your heart with people even if it's been broken."


21. "Make 'no' a complete sentence."


22. "Time can be your b*tch if you let go of the next and the before."


23. "I want to be around people that do things. I don’t want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what people do. I want to be around people that dream and support and do things."
