“I want you to understand something. War makes perpetrators of some, criminals of others, and victims of everyone. Just because a soldier is in the battle, doesn't mean that he believes in the war.”
Ellen Marie Wiseman, The Plum Tree

“That's what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.”
Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

“Heimat. The word mean home in German, the place where one was born. But the term also conveys a subtler nuance, a certain tenderness. One's Heimat is not merely a matter of geography; it is where one's heart lies. ”
Jenna Blum, Those Who Save Us

“I want you to understand something. War makes perpetrators of some, criminals of others, and victims of everyone. Just because a soldier is in the battle, doesn't mean that he believes in the war.”
Ellen Marie Wiseman, The Plum Tree

“I know now that the most genuine happiness is kept afloat by an underlying sorrow.”
Seré Prince Halverson, The Underside of Joy
