“It's our nature. We destroy. It's the constant of our kind. No matter the color of blood, man will always fall.”

“There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater.

But sometimes it doesn't.

Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life.

That is the sort of bravery I must have now.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“I am midway from forgetting to remembering. I do not know how long it will take before I return to all of myself. Yes, an echo still warns: “Learn to forget.” But I am past this checkpoint—I will never regret that I chose to remember.”
― Ibtisam Barakat, Tasting the Sky: A Palestinian Childhood

“What I need and what I want are two very different things.”
― Victoria Aveyard, Red Queen
