Angie Thomas
“That's the problem. We let people say stuff, and they say it so much that it becomes okay to them and normal for us. What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?”
Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

Goldie Hawn
“Knowing your limits, and that there is a limit to getting what you want, comes from a sense of self-respect instilled in you from an early age. It takes guts to stand up in the face of what you really want, but you have to know in your heart that if you make the wrong choice you won't be able to live with yourself for the rest of your life. There is only one person who matters at that point and that's you. If you give in to such pressures, you strip away your self-respect, your personal ethics and your standards-the very things that create the fiber that will hold you together for the rest of your life.”
Goldie Hawn, A Lotus Grows in the Mud

Angie Thomas
“At an early age I learned that people make mistakes, and you have to decide if their mistakes are bigger than your love for them.”
Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

Goldie Hawn
“If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one.”
Goldie Hawn, A Lotus Grows in the Mud

Angie Thomas
“Brave doesn't mean you're not scared. It means you go on even though you're scared.”
Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give
