― Isaac Asimov

“The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It’s our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows.”
― Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

“Five percent of the people think;
ten percent of the people think they think;

― Alice Feeney, His & Hers
