Raw Honesty Quotes

“I don't know what makes us want to keep on living, what makes us desperately hold on to anything that will allow us to remain on this earth just a little longer despite the pain that comes with it, but I do know that, whatever it is, selfishness resides at its core; selfishness is its black, dangerous heart.”
― Gabino Iglesias, The Devil Takes You Home

“I just want to be real with y'all. That's what my mother always said--- if you want to have an audience, you've got to give them all of you, good and bad. You show them how to make their lives beautiful, but you don't pretend life isn't ugly sometimes, too. And, y'all? I am my mother's daughter. And my mother, she would not have tolerated a vanity sheet cake on her table.”
― Victoria Benton Frank, The Violet Hour
