Craig D. Lounsbrough
“If something is ugly, it’s likely that it’s only ugly because it’s never been given the opportunity to be beautiful. And never having had that opportunity is likely the ugliest thing of all.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Criss Jami
“Grief is a form of growth that in gradual excess becomes graphic and grotesque.”
Criss Jami
