“We sat together for some time looking across the mountains. When we stood up to leave, I asked her what lay beyond the horizon, and she said to me, ‘That is for us to imagine, to walk toward there holding the dream of what we hope to see, and not turn, however dark the path'.”

“Some of the best talks I have ever had started with someone asking "This might seem rude, but can I ask about your face/nose/scars/bumps?" Wherever those conversations ended up, they started as honest exchanges. Acknowledging someone's differences can be about saying you're not scared to talk to someone about the things that make them who they are.”

“Humans are like social Legos. We connect together with families. We build lives with friends. On our own, we're just one piece. When we come together in groups, we make amazing things. Our admission ticket into these groups is not our thoughts or our feelings. Our faces are our tickets. Our faces lets us look out and know others and let them know us.”
― Robert Hoge, Ugly
