Tearing Down Walls Quotes

“The problem with letting people tear your walls down, is that you never know who wants to take down those walls just for the fun of it. For amusement purposes. Just to say that he knew that he could. At the end of the day... the things you build should stay built. And you are no scapegoat for the sins of other people, in anyone's life. How dare anyone take down your walls not in order to see you; but only in order to feed their ego. In order to make you pay for sins not done by your own hands.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“Our fear of others only ends when we bring them in from the terrifying darkness to our fireside and share our bread and companionship with them. Then, and only then, may we find the light together.”
― Stewart Stafford

“Marriage isn’t easy, Inara. It’s a messy, dirty, get-in-the-grime-and-dig kind of work. Sometimes it takes tearing down our carefully constructed walls in order to fall more in love.”
― Anna Augustine, By Blood & Blade
