Quotes by Ester Wier (?)

“Someone will care if you just give 'em a chance. There's always people who need you as much as you need them. Don't you forget that. All you got to do is find 'em. And when you do, you find you're happier carin' about someone else than just about yourself all the time.”
― Ester Wier, The Loner

“There was no end to the things that happened to sheep unless they had a shepherd who cared more about them than anything else in the world.”
