Quotes
I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain. - James Baldwin
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. - Ernest Hemingway
It is only when we are truly alone without someone else to lean on; left with our own inner solitude that we can undergo a real process of change. The introspection that is needed to bring out the light that has dwindled down to a mere flicker. It is in these moments of complete quietness and stillness that our minds can settle and we can hear our own voice. It then becomes possible to face all our fears, losses and cracks within. - Mimi Novic
