“What you do in the darkness comes out in the light.” From the darkness to the light.”
― Lamar Odom, Darkness to Light: A Memoir

“To love God, no matter the name, and no matter the religion, is to make a wholehearted reach toward the universal, to come to see for oneself that in spite of the lonely feelings we have as individual people, each of us can still stand on our own two feet, supported by a higher, deeper power.”
― Common, Let Love Have the Last Word: A Memoir

“We must be the masters of our own destinies. I did not learn that until it was too late. You have to fight to take back control of your life. Sometimes you will hurt the ones you love the most. But in the end, it will always have to be your choice.”
― Sabina Khan, The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali

“Acknowledge who you are, then with resolution pursue your higher self, that ideal and perfect version of yourself, reflecting God’s light, knowing that you will fail over and over again, but you pursue anyway. You live your life the best way you can, but the important thing is to live, and to do it with love.”
― Common, Let Love Have the Last Word: A Memoir
