“Someone once said to me that if you drank hate, it would get to a point where that’s all there was inside you,” he said. “And that’s very true. But the same can be said for love. If you drink it in, if it’s the only thing you let in, then love is the only thing in your heart. And I owe that to you, Erik. The love you give me is without limit, undiluted, and the only intoxicating thing I will ever need. You gave me purpose and family, and I will spend every day of forever being the man you deserve. That’s my promise to you.”
― N.R. Walker, The Hate You Drink

“Hate is loud, but I think you'll learn it's because it's only a few people shouting, desperate to be heard. You might not ever be able to change their minds, but so long as your remember you're not alone, you will overcome.”

― A.M. Johnson, Let There Be Light

“To those afraid to come out, to speak up, to simply be in your own skin, there’s an entire community and family waiting for you with open arms. You will be loved. You are worthy of it.”
― A.M. Johnson, Love Always, Wild
