“It takes strength and courage to admit the truth.”— Rick Riordan
“She was saying goodbye and she didn’t even know it.”— Markus Zusak
“Sometimes we have the absolute certainty there’s something inside us that’s so hideous and monstrous that if we ever search it out we won’t be able to stand looking at it. But it’s when we’re willing to come face to face with that demon that we face the angel.”— Hubert Selby Jr.
"Stop letting people treat you like a complete pushover, stop allowing them to walk all over you, you’re not a doormat. You’re a human being, and you have feelings, and if they don’t respect that, they don’t respect you, and guess what? they don’t deserve you and they probably never have, so I guess you’re definitely in no need of them, you are under no obligation to tolerate what you don’t even have to accept in the first place, learn to respect yourself enough to walk away from anyone who belittles you, disrespects you, who never cares about your feelings, because your feelings exist and they have to be respected the same way you would respect theirs."
