“No one can make you dwell on the past.
Control your thoughts and actions! Make your own decisions! Just because someone keeps bringing up your past doesn’t mean you have to accept it --- you are not obligated to accommodate their recollections of you.”
― Michelle Word Hollis, A Book of Pearlables: Affirmations for Promises and Provisions

“Night never had the last word. The dawn is always invincible.”
― Hugh B. Brown

“The presence of a noble nature, generous in its wishes, ardent in its charity, changes the lights for us: we begin to see things again in their larger, quieter masses, and to believe that we too can be seen and judged in the wholeness of our character.”
― George Eliot, Middlemarch
