Grace Collins

“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

“I could not pity the adult she had become, but I could pity the girl she had been.”
― T. Kingfisher, A House with Good Bones

“I found it interesting that those who believed themselves righteous only ever cared about those who agreed with them, and were keen to let those who didn’t suffer whatever brutal fate. There seemed to me an inherent hypocrisy in faith itself.”
― Rachel Harrison, Black Sheep

“When cruelty becomes familiar in your tender, adolescent years, of course you start to become comfortable with it. You believe you deserve it. But you don’t.”
― Sally Hepworth, Darling Girls
