Who cares about labels when someone is slapping you in the face? Who cares about labels when someone is saving you from drowning? — Frank Schaeffer

You cannot force someone to believe something they do not believe; you can only manage to force them to speak or act as if they do. — Mokokoma Mokhonoana
