Quotes by North Taylor (?)

“Hope is an illusive thing. One minute it is there, and by the next minute it might have disappeared. But even though it might feel as if hope has abandoned you, it is never truly gone. Hope is always there. Perhaps as a wisp, or perhaps running through your body so powerfully you might feel as though you could do anything. Obvious or not, hope is always there.”
― North Taylor, By Invitation Only

“The leaders have to make the difficult decisions. That’s why we have leaders— so they make the choices no one else can.”

“Everyone’s going to die at some point. But we dare to make friends. We dare to love. We dare to get close to people. Because we need those people to get us through all the crap life throws at us. They’ll pass away— every one of them— sooner or later. But that doesn’t stop us. That doesn’t stop love.”
― North Taylor, Theocracy
