“The thought manifests the word;
The word manifests the deed;
The deed develops into habit;

And let them spring forth from love
Born out of compassion for all beings.
As the shadow follows the body, as we think, so we become.”
― Dhammapada

“Sometimes all it takes to become human again is someone who can see you that way, no matter how you present on the surface”
