"Hate's never good. It clouds your mind and doesn't let you think straight."

"People are lazy ," said Sister Nora. "We see someone and quickly want to categorize them, like a book that hasn't been read. We keep ourselves from opening each book, reading it, and learning how unique it is."

"That’s why things like books, signs, and contracts carry so much power, " she added. "Spoken words are like old winter leaves-- they're easily spun, blown away, and forgotten."

Love these characters so much 💖

A strange thing happens when a country fights itself. There are no winners or losers. One side may claim victory, but in the end, it's a loss for everyone. It's like two parts of a single body fighting each other. If the head claimed victory over the feet and destroyed them, then the body could no longer walk to explore better places.
