Bryan Stevenson
“I told myself that evening what I had been telling my clients for years. I am more than broken. In fact, there is a strength, a power even, in understanding brokenness, because embracing our brokenness creates a need and desire for mercy, and perhaps a corresponding need to show mercy. When you experience mercy, you learn things that are hard to learn otherwise. You see things you can’t otherwise see; you hear things you can’t otherwise hear. You begin to recognize the humanity that resides in each of us.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

Daniel Sloss
“A lot of people like to listen to people talk about death because we don't do it enough...We make it taboo, and I think that gives it too much power...I hope that for some of you, this made sense. That the uncertainty I felt while typing it clicked something into place for you. In a world where we strive to be different, to stand out, to be unique and not be like anyone else, sometimes it's nice to know that we aren't different...We're all scared little apes burdened with thoughts, worries, and uncertainties. Even our fight to be different proves we're the same.”

“Our humanity is global. You will find this shared humanity indomitably present in every circumstance of life. Therefore, if we dare to appeal to the commonality of our shared humanity as our primary and unrelenting endeavor, we would utterly transform what is being completely destroyed.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

Terry Mancour
“A mage in his ire is a terrible, terrible thing, my lords. But you know what a mage is also? He's human. He has...the same lofty aspirations to die peacefully in his dotage or gloriously on the battlefield...and a mage will keep his sworn word.”
Terry Mancour, Warmage

Coldplay
“I could be you, you could be me
Two raindrops in the same sea
You could be me, I could be you
Two angles of the same view

And we share the same blood”
Coldplay, Coldplay - Everyday Life Songbook

Bohumil Hrabal
“I thought about that marching soldier, giving him neither a uniform nor a nationality, and I grieved over the man's fate.”
Bohumil Hrabal, Moritati i legende

Stewart Stafford
“Idolatry is inherently paradoxical. Were we an ideally-flawed replication of the divine, free-thinking, history-repeating links in an outcast chain on a smaller, mortal scale, or is our imperfection a special dispensation? Are we a sly thought experiment? Shouldn't those we admire reflect this duality and our shared humanity â€� not a perfection that never was and never will be?”
Stewart Stafford
