“I’ve lived a good many years, and seen a good many things, and one thing I know to be true is that we are all scarred, all broken in our own way. Some of us may break more quietly than others, but break we all do, when this world dishes out its worst. It’s part of the journey we all came here to make, the stings and losses all part of our walk. But we can rise above those wounds if we choose. If we’re willing to let down our guard, to look beyond the flaws and the shortcomings, to what lies beneath.”
― Barbara Davis, The Last of the Moon Girls

“I picked out the rocks and the weeds. I am doing everything I can to provide a better plot of soil for those who will come after me.”
― Stephanie Foo, What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma

“There will always be those who are afraid, who will make up stories to cover their fear. They’ll point fingers and call names. And yes, they’ll lie. But we can’t let that change who we are, or dim the light that is in us.”
― Barbara Davis, The Last of the Moon Girls

“What is the point of having friends if they’re not there to support your bad decisions?”
