“I risked my life for you. So don’t you ever again disrespect the risks I took by claiming you weren’t worth it!”
― Jennifer A. Nielsen, The Shadow Throne

“Its not a contest about whose days suck the most. The point is we all have to put up with the bad days.”
― R.J. Palacio, Wonder

“The commandment to work is imposed on us by our descent from Adam and Eve, but it is a blessing to us. Illness and adversity are not punishments for being alive; they are natural accompaniments of life. Our bodies are not vile and loathsome snares for our spirits, but the temples of our spirits. The daily activities of mixing orange juice, making telephone calls, supervising homework, and scrubbing the bathtub are not distractions from our spiritual lives. They are the vehicles through which we live our spiritual lives.”
― Chieko N. Okazaki, Lighten Up!

“But the good thing about life is that we can fix our mistakes sometimes. We learn from them. We get better.”
― R.J. Palacio, The Julian Chapter
