“Your child doesn’t owe you loyalty or obedience. You owe your child love and understanding, owe it unconditionally, and if you love them strongly enough, eventually that love may be returned.”
― Nick Cutter, The Deep

“The thing about grace is that you don’t deserve it. You can’t earn it. You can only accept it. Or not.”
― Kimi Cunningham Grant, These Silent Woods

“No good friends, no bad friends; only people you want, need to be with. People who build their houses in your heart.”

“That’s because language doesn’t work to manipulate people into believing things they don’t want to believe; instead, it gives them license to believe ideas they’re already open to.

― Amanda Montell, Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism
