But I also realized that this state of affairs wasn't necessarily a given, and that we have it in our power to make a difference, to make the world a better place for all. We have that choice. One thing's for sure, though - if we do nothing, it will be a given. — Chrissie Wellington

I wish I could tell you it doesn't matter. I wish I could hold you close and tell that you will be loved for what you do, that you are incredible and unique.

Let them hate me, so long as they fear me! — Caligula

No matter how far we come, our parents are always in us. — Brad Meltzer
