“Make no mistake: You will be challenged at some point in time. We all are. That’s just life.”
Vernon Davis, Playing Ball: Life Lessons from My Journey to the Super Bowl and Beyond

Charlotte Brontë
“I am not an angel,' I asserted; 'and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself. Mr. Rochester, you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of me - for you will not get it, any more than I shall get it of you: which I do not at all anticipate.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
