“Love is the bridge that spans the world above and below, and keeps the wheel of life turning.”
― S. Jae-Jones, Wintersong

“Maybe looking away is about privilege. I need to think harder and longer about my choices and recognize that choosing whom I see and whom I don't see is one of the most hurtful functions of privilege.”
― Brené Brown, Rising Strong: The Reckoning. The Rumble. The Revolution

“The word failure is imperfect. Once we begin to transform it, it ceases to be that any longer. The term is always slipping off the edges of our vision, not simply because it's hard to see without wincing, but because once we are ready to talk about it, we often call the event something else--a learning experience, a trial, a reinvention--no longer the static concept of failure.”
― Sarah Lewis, The Cross and the Crescent

“Talk to ourselves in the same way we'd talk to someone we'd love. Yes, you made a mistake. You're human. You don't have to do it like anyone else does. Fixing it and making amends will help. Self-loathing will not. Reach out to someone we trust--a person who has earned the right to hear our story and who has the capacity to respond with empathy.”
― Brené Brown, Rising Strong: The Reckoning. The Rumble. The Revolution
