There is no man or woman born into this world to whom some of these trials do not fall, and so I feel that some of them must happen to you; and I desire for you, that while you are young you should seek for the strength from your Heavenly Father, that you may have a support which will not fail you in the evil day. — George Eliot

We're the ones you can't beat without repercussion, who get to vote, and are protected by laws no matter what. — Phoebe Robinson
