Dead people can be our heroes because they can't disappoint us later; they only improve over time, as we forget more and more about them.
Veronica RothI understand why she did all those things, but that doesn't mean we aren't still broken.
Veronica RothThere are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater. But sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life. That is the sort of bravery I must have now.
