“Now, every time...”

“Now, every time I witness a strong person, I want to know: What dark did you conquer in your story? 

Mountains do not rise without earthquakes.”

- Katherine MacKenett

"Maybe it takes everything you have, every last atom, to sail past that dark idea, and then on arrival all you have to offer the world is your exhausted, battered self.  But that's everything.  You know?  It's enough."
-Picture Us in the Light by Kelly Loy Gilbert
