Bryan Stevenson
“Being close to suffering, death, executions, and cruel punishments didn't just illuminate the brokenness of others; in a moment of anguish and heartbreak, it also exposed my own brokenness. You can't effectively fight abusive power, poverty, inequality, illness, oppression, or injustice and not be broken by it.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption

Bryan Stevenson
“We've all been through a lot, Bryan, all of us. I know that some have been through more than others. But if we don't expect more from each other hope better for one another, and recover from the hurt we experience, we are surely doomed”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy: A Story of justice and redemption
