“People are not milk cartons. You don’t pick and choose the ones you think will last the longest without going sour. If it feels right, you just go with it until it doesn’t feel right anymore. And sometimes when something goes wrong, it hurts. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth it in the first place.”
― Siera Maley, Colorblind

“Try to be a filter, not a sponge.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“Censorship is the child of fear and the father of ignorance.”
― Laurie Halse Anderson, Speak
