“There is a strength, a power even, in understanding brokenness, because embracing our brokenness creates a need and desire for mercy, and perhaps a corresponding need to show mercy.

You begin to recognize the humanity that resides in each of us.”
― Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

“When you’re young and you’ve known nothing but peace, you assume there will always be time for everything.”

“I have a lot of work to do today;
I need to slaughter memory,
Turn my living soul to stone
Then teach myself to live again.”
