The Nail That Sticks Out Quotes

“As children we heard different narratives: some true, others false. In our innocence we accepted them, however narrow or imposed. Later, as we learned to discern fact from fiction, questions arose: Are we merely clinging to symbols of the past? What versions of the story are real or imagined? Poking holes into the dark fabric of the unknown, we weigh each probability. We’re not always prepared for what we discover when the facts don’t align in our ongoing quest for the truth.”
