Martin Luther
“The ears of our generation have been made so delicate by the senseless multitude of flatterers that, as soon as we perceive that anything of ours is not approved of, we cry out that we are being bitterly assailed; and when we can repel the truth by no other pretence, we escape by attributing bitterness, impatience, intemperance, to our adversaries.”
Martin Luther, Concerning Christian Liberty

“There’s a great essay about this by Aubrey Hirsch. She says judging another mother is like critiquing a woman being eaten by wolves. “That’s not what I want to do,” Hirch writes. “I want to say ‘Hey, Mama! You looked like a badass bitch taking on those wolves!’ and ‘Aren’t those wolves crazy?!’ and ‘Tell me how you’re surviving these wolf attacks.”
Megan Stielstra, The Wrong Way to Save Your Life: Essays

Robin Hobb
“Cruelty is a skill taught not only by example, but also by experience of it.”
Robin Hobb, Fool's Errand

Jacqueline Carey
“I preferred a hard truth to a well-meant lie.”
Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel's Scion

Jacqueline Carey
“There would be love, and while it was mine, I could cling to it. I could rejoice -- in life, in the existence of love. In the existence of people like Phedre and Joscelin. Although the standards they set were impossibly high, still, I could rejoice that such courage and compassion existed in the world. I could hope and aspire.”
Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel's Scion
