“When you get to be my age, you realize that age has nothing to do with what you can accomplish—if you’ve go it, you’ve go it. Why wait until you grow up? And then once you’re all grown-up, why stop? Or at least that’s my motto.”

“Do not find peace. Find passion. Find something you want to die for more than something you want to live for. If it is your children, then fight not just for your own but for orphans who have no one else. If it is for medicine, then do not just seek out a cure for cancer but search for a cure for AIDS as well. Fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. Speak for them. Scream for them. Live and die for them. You life will not always be a happy one, but it will have meaning.”
― Michelle Hodkin, The Retribution of Mara Dyer
