“Words are like seeds, I think, planted into our hearts at a tender age. They take root in us as we grow, settling deep into our souls. They flourish and find homes in our hearts. They build trunks around our spines, steadying us when we are feeling most flimsy; planting our feet firmly when we are feeling most unsure. But the bad words grow poorly. Our trunks infest and spoil until we are hollow and housing the interests of others and not our own. We are forced to eat the fruit those words have borne, held hostage by the branches growing arms around our necks, suffocating us to death, one word at a time.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Ignite Me

“The excuses we make for them are outrageous, but they’re nothing compared with the ones we make for ourselves.”
― Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa
