“There’s an old, Native American parable. It explains how everybody has two wolves constantly fighting inside each of us. The negative wolf—the wolf that tells you that you’re bad, you can’t do it, you’re a failure. And the positive wolf, which tells you, you can do it. You are worthy. You are loved. The wolf that wins is, very simply, the one you feed. When you indulge one of the wolves, leave it to go unchallenged, agree with it, don’t seek out evidence to oppose it, you feed it, and it grows stronger.”
― Marina Vivancos, In This Iron Ground

― Jenn Lyons, The Ruin of Kings

“He’d been alone. Alone, alone, alone. He’d look at the stars and think to the universe, you are infinite. And I am alone.”
