More quotes by Monica Lewinsky
Building a more compassionate society is going to be a bilateral exercise between individuals and the brands that represent their aspirations, their values and their truths. People make brands. If people are compassionate, brands will be compassionate in return.
Monica Lewinsky
The more shame, the more clicks. The more clicks, the more advertising dollars.
Monica Lewinsky
Try and have neutral compassion toward the perpetrator. Step outside the sting of the incident and realize that this person is trying to erase their own inadequacy or unhappiness by transferring it to you. It won't make the incident go away, but it's one thing you can do to reduce the pain.
Monica Lewinsky
To mock at a soul in pain is a dreadful thing.
Monica Lewinsky
I try to make very careful decisions about what I choose to do, and it's - I know that unfortunately one of the misperceptions about me, I think, is that I'm sort of a moth to the limelight.
Monica Lewinsky
Sure, my boss took advantage of me, but I will always remain firm on this point: it was a consensual relationship. Any 'abuse' came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position.
Monica Lewinsky
It’s time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress.
Monica Lewinsky
I know I will never have an affair with a married man again.
Monica Lewinsky
So I think it's - what was important to me is that I found that I can't change the fact that people already have made an opinion about me. But I don't think that should stop me from trying to correct some of the misperceptions that are out there.
Monica Lewinsky
I did though at least expect him to correct the false statements he made when he was trying to protect the Presidency. Instead, he talked about it as though I had laid it all out there for the taking. I was the buffet and he just couldn't resist the dessert.
Monica Lewinsky
I have spent the past several years working so hard to just move on, and to try and build a life for myself.
Monica Lewinsky
Public shaming is a blood sport that has to stop.
Monica Lewinsky
At one point, I actually, ironically, thought I might go into criminology and work with the FBI.
Monica Lewinsky
Feeling alone and unseen can intensify the experience of being harassed, shamed, or bullied.
Monica Lewinsky
I'm kind of known for something that's not so great to be known for.
Monica Lewinsky
And I felt sorry, and I have felt bad about what happened.
Monica Lewinsky
Women need to support other women, not cut them down. And that goes for recognizable women too.
Monica Lewinsky
So it was sort of an odd time because I had been hired, but my paperwork hadn't gone through. So I worked as an intern during the government shutdown, as an intern, but I already had a job.
Monica Lewinsky
I was Patient Zero. The first person to have their reputation completely destroyed worldwide via the Internet.
Monica Lewinsky
Overnight, I went from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one. I was Patient Zero.
Monica Lewinsky
