Quotes by Joe Barrett (?)

“Maybe, you try not to have a ridged opinion about anything. Maybe, you just let happen, happen.”
― Joe Barrett, Managed Care

“The Church should be about individual expression, not conformity! The Church should be about compassion, not judgment!”
― Joe Barrett, Managed Care

“I’ve seen people react to situations in ways that I think are bad for the world. It doesn’t matter if it happens at work or at school or at home, you know? People shouldn’t hurt other people and then lie about it. Or try to convince themselves that they’re right when their actions are wrong. People should speak up when they see bad things happening, don’t you think? When people make the world a worse place, it’s important to expose it, so it doesn’t stay hidden, right? Isn’t that kind of what you were”
― Joe Barrett, Daisy in the Doghouse
