“I have a voice just as much as you do. It’s a choice we make every minute. What truths are important enough to say aloud and what ones are important just to know. That’s the power.

― Sarah McCoy, Marilla of Green Gables

― Sarah McCoy, Marilla of Green Gables

“It's our duty to love the poor, the orphaned, the weary and burdened. Matthew 11:28. Love can be its own kind of war.”
