“In every crisis, doubt or confusion, take the higher path - the path of compassion, courage, understanding and love.”
Amit Ray, Nonviolence: The Transforming Power

Jodi Picoult
“I was starting to see that what looks like garbage from one angle might be art from another. Maybe it did take a crisis to get to know yourself; maybe you needed to get whacked hard by life before you understood what you wanted out of it.”
Jodi Picoult, Handle with Care
