“There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater.

But sometimes it doesn't.

Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life.

That is the sort of bravery I must have now.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“Sometimes God's plan for us is difficult to decipher, but the end result can be far more wonderful than we thought”
― Taya Kyle, American Wife: Love, War, Faith, and Renewal

“...We're never prepared for how much we love our children, for how much we wish we could protect them by being perfect.”
― Libba Bray, A Great and Terrible Beauty

“My dad used to say that life was like turning the pages in a book. 'Oh, look,' he'd say, pretending to flip the pages in the air after we'd had something bad happen to us. 'Bad luck here on page ninety-seven. And on ninety-eight. But something good here on ninety-nine! All you had to do was keep reading!”
― Ally Condie, Summerlost
