Pierce Brown
“Would that my hands were meant to build. I would know what to say. What to do. Maybe in another life I would have been that man. In this one, my words, like my hands, are clumsy. All they can do is cut. All they can do is break.”
Pierce Brown, Golden Son

“The world would be a better place if more men were focused on building a meaningful legacy instead of building their need for Instant gratification and a myriad of sexual partners.

Men have the power to build their own legacy that'll help not only their great grandchildren but also the WORLD! If men could only understand they have the ability to instill this BEING within themselves, the world would be a better place.

As women our job from here on out should be to teach our children how to build something that outlives them, even if they are all grown up.”
Minel Powell
