Rebel Quotes

“He’s going to get hurt. And he’s got to know you’re someone safe to come back to. He’s going to feel that in his bones. Just like I do. Because loving someone doesn’t mean needing them to be what you want them to be or swaddling them in bubble wrap so they can’t move. It means them knowing, deep down inside of their heart, you’re going to be there to hold them when they fall and celebrate when they fly.”
― Rhys Ford, Rebel

“You smear shit on something—on someone else and what they do—and he’s going to learn those things are bad. You won’t be any better than people who call you faggot or queer. Or who look at your ink and think you’re not worth anything. Don’t be what you fight against, Gus, and don’t make your kid fear you, because what you mock and disparage might be who he is.”
― Rhys Ford, Rebel
