Quotes by Ian Brown (?)

“I understand how insubstantial this seems, how minor: man buys a coffee in French! But it was Gégé and Jean-Claude, and my own Walker, who reminded me how to do that simpest thing. They reminded me not to be ashamed. That is never a small accomplishment.”
― Ian Brown, The Boy in the Moon: A Father's Journey to Understand His Extraordinary Son

“There's a beautiful text of Martin Luther King's,' Vanier said, without hesitation. 'Someone said to him, will it always be like this— that someone will always despise people and want to get rid of others? And he said yes, until we have all learned to recognize, accept, and love what is despicable in all of us. And what is that despicability? That we are born to die. That we have not full control of our lives. And that's part of our makeup. But we need to discover that we are built for something else, too, which is togetherness, and that we have to try and stop this need to be the best.”
