“I, myself, am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.”
― Augusten Burroughs

“Qui tacet consentire videtur is Latin for “Silence gives consent.” When we say nothing, when we do nothing, we are consenting to these trespasses against us.”

“Speak what you think now in hard words and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradicts everything you said today.”
