    Basil the Great
    “When someone steals another's clothes, we call them a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not?

    Basil the Great

    C. JoyBell C.
    “You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself; is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It's not like you have forever, so don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw even one of your moments away.”
    C. JoyBell C.

    Dan Pearce
    “My request today is simple. Today. Tomorrow. Next week. Find somebody, anybody, that’s different than you. Somebody that has made you feel ill-will or even hateful. Somebody whose life decisions have made you uncomfortable. Somebody who practices a different religion than you do. Somebody who has been lost to addiction. Somebody with a criminal past. Somebody who dresses “below” you. Somebody with disabilities. Somebody who lives an alternative lifestyle. Somebody without a home.

    Somebody that you, until now, would always avoid, always look down on, and always be disgusted by.

    Reach your arm out and put it around them.

    And then, tell them they’re all right. Tell them they have a friend. Tell them you love them.

    If you or I wanna make a change in this world, that’s where we’re gonna be able to do it. That’s where we’ll start.

    Every. Single. Time.”
    Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing: The Best of Year One
