“We are all children of blood and bone.
All instruments of vengeance and virtue.”
― Tomi Adeyemi, Children of Blood and Bone

― Laura Hillenbrand, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption

“In a single, silent moment, his rage, his fear, his humiliation and helplessness, had fallen away. That morning, he believed, he was a new creation. Softly, he wept.”
― Laura Hillenbrand, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption

“Courage does not always roar. Valor does not always shine.”
― Tomi Adeyemi, Children of Blood and Bone
