Quotes by Nathan A. Thompson (?)

“Just because you feel like you need to do something bad, son, doesn't mean you have to do it. And having that voice inside doesn’t automatically make you a bad person. In fact, it can make you the opposite, make you better, if you can train your heart and mind to resist it. Temptation is dangerous, but it's also an opportunity to grow, and change, and rise.”
― Nathan A.Thompson, Brace For the Wolves

“the bad kind of pride was when you had confidence without any self-reflection, and the bad kind of humility was when you had self-reflection without any confidence.”

Nathan’s Quotes

“Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
