Chelsey Philpot Quotes 474077

In the Empire, the Scholars are not allowed to read and, like so many bullies and power-seekers who hide behind ideologies to justify the terrible things they do, their oppressors wear masks.

Chelsey Philpot Quotes 998317

We cannot 100 percent know the depth of another person's heart. We cannot know the whys and whats of his soul.

This idea could be sad, but it doesn't have to be. Instead of rendering human beings powerless, it could render them more compassionate.

She couldn't hold so much life, light and joy without also containing their opposites. — Chelsey Philpot
