    “The problem is that people think in black and white. They think they can have the good without the bad. But everything that's good for one person is probably bad for someone else. Life isn't like the Bible says it is. It isn't a choice between good and evil. It's about choosing which evils you can stand.”

    Krysten Ritter

For your daughter, for her job, for that sophomore behind the Dumpsters, men who get to do anything they want, and the people who are taken advantage of. Because isn't that, ultimately, what the case comes down to? There are people of the world who squeeze and the ones who suffocate.”
