The Stand Out Quotes

“As the aphorism goes, we all die twice. Once when we pass out of this world, and a second time when there’s no one left to remember us. The names of these souls will live on, remembered for giving their lives so others could live. Remembered for their courage.”
― Donna Alam, The Stand Out

“My sin is purged," I find myself answering.
"What?"
"I'm not sorry." Because how can I be sorry when a kiss with its origins in deceit leaves me feeling like I'm in a state of fucking grace. "My only sin is kissing you for the wrong reason.”
― Donna Alam, The Stand Out
