    C. JoyBell C.
    “There is no such thing as a "broken family." Family is family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart. The only time family becomes null is when those ties in the heart are cut. If you cut those ties, those people are not your family. If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you.”
    ― C. JoyBell C.

    Virgil
    “Facilis descensus Averno:
    Noctes atque dies patet atri ianua Ditis;
    Sed revocare gradium superasque evadere ad auras,
    Hoc opus, hic labor est.
    (The gates of Hell are open night and day;
    Smooth the descent, and easy is the way:
    But to return, and view the cheerful skies,
    In this task and mighty labor lies.)”
    ― Virgil, The Aeneid
