Kindle Notes & Highlights
History books say that kings and dukes and generals start wars. Don’t believe it. We start them, you and I. Every time we turn away, keep quiet, stay out of it, behave ourselves.
“I think we all make mistakes. What matters is that we don’t let our mistakes make us.”
“Strange, isn’t it, how stories that are never told are the ones we most need to hear,”
Believe that you can make your way. Or don’t. Either way, you are right.
Every war is different, yet each battle is the same. The enemy is only a distraction. The thing you are fighting against, always, is yourself.
It is the magic of a frail and fallible creature, one capable of both unspeakable cruelty and immense kindness. It lives inside every human being ready to redeem us. To transform us. To save us. If we can only find the courage to listen to it. It is the magic of the human heart.
