“If your knuckles are bloodier than your knees, then you’re fighting the wrong battle.”

“you can whip it and beat it senseless, you can drag it through the streets and spit on it, you can even dangle it from a tree, drive spikes through it, and drain the last breath from it, but in the end, no matter what you do, and no matter how hard you to try to kill it, love wins.”

Miss Ella had told him that if anger ever took root, it latched on, dug in, and choked the life out of whatever heart was carrying it.
