“We must cultivate all three intelligences for our overall health: critical intelligence, emotional intelligence, and spiritual intelligence. If one falls to the wayside, it slows the growth of the other two.
If you have developed critical intelligence but neglected emotional intelligence, then you may not be sensitive to the suffering of others.
If you have developed emotional intelligence but neglected spiritual intelligence, then you may lose hope after seeing the world's suffering.
If you have developed spiritual intelligence but neglected critical intelligence, then you may fall victim to the abuse of a cult.”

“We expect random acts of violence from men. Men are the people who brought us the golden hits of war, genocide, rape, drones, and foot-ball. We do not expect murder, pain, and sadism from women, but we are co-opted idiots. Our unshakeable belief in women's essential goodness is a wondrous, drooling thing... It's as if none of us ever had mothers who ever acted cruelly and we all did. Some more than others.”
― Chelsea G. Summers, A Certain Hunger

“The time had come to embrace the ups and downs again. I had no way of knowing what pitfalls might be lying in wait for me, but what I’d discovered by doing five jobs in such a short span of time was this: the same was true of everything. You never knew what was going to happen, whatever you did. You just had to give it your all, and hope for the best. Hope like anything it would turn out alright.”

“It is one story among many. Every bone tells a life. Every person lost was a world.”
