Bryan Stevenson
“We are all implicated when we allow other people to be mistreated. An absence of compassion can corrupt the decency of a community, a state, a nation. Fear and anger can make us vindictive and abusive, unjust and unfair, until we all suffer from the absence of mercy and we condemn ourselves as much as we victimize others. The closer we get to mass incarceration and extreme levels of punishment, the more I believe it's necessary to recognize that we all need mercy, we all need justice, and-perhaps-we all need some measure of unmerited grace.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

Sue Monk Kidd
“When mauma saw my raw eyes, she said, “Ain’t nobody can write down in a book what you worth.”
Sue Monk Kidd, The Invention of Wings

Bryan Stevenson
“We are all broken by something. We have all hurt someone and have been hurt. We all share the condition of brokenness even if our brokenness is not equivalent. I desperately wanted mercy for Jimmy Dill and would have done anything to create justice for him, but I couldn’t pretend that his struggle was disconnected from my own. The ways in which I have been hurt—and have hurt others—are different from the ways Jimmy Dill suffered and caused suffering. But our shared brokenness connected us.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption

Bryan Stevenson
“Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

Donna Tartt
“...the thought of returning to any kind of normal routine seemed disloyal, wrong. It kept being a shock every time I remembered it, a fresh slap: she was gone. Every new event-everything I did for the rest of my life-would only separate us more and more: days she was no longer a part of, an ever-growing distance between us. Every single day for the rest of my life, she would only be further away.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch
