Quote by Tahereh Mafi

“I cling to him, wishing I could ease his pain. I wish I could take his burdens and make them mine. "It's weird, isn't it?" he says. "What is?" "If we were naked right now, I'd be dead." "Shut up," I say, laughing against his chest. We're both wearing long sleeves, long pants. As long as my face and hands don't touch his skin, he's perfectly safe. "Well, it's true." "In what alternate universe would I ever be naked with you?" "I am just saying," he says. "Shit happens. You never know." "I think you need a girlfriend." "Nah," he says. "I just need a hug from my friend." I lean back to look at him. Try to read his eyes. "You're my best friend, Kenji. You know that, right?" "Yeah, kid." He grins at me. "I do. And I can't believe I got stuck with your skinny ass.”

“Thus I set off at a venture, having no resource but in the Lord's mercy and faithfulness; and, indeed, what other can we wish for? Presently my subject opened; and I know not when I have been favoured with more liberty. Why do I tell you this? Only as an instance of His goodness, to encourage you to put your strength in Him, and not to be afraid even when you feel your own weakness and insufficiency most sensibly. We are never more safe, never have more reason to expect the Lord's help, than when we are most sensible that we can do nothing without Him.”

“The Moon has no light of its own, ANY light you see coming from the Moon is simply a reflection of the higher power shining on it, which is the Sun. If there were no Sun, the Moon would exist in utter darkness. I must be as the Moon, always realizing that without my Higher Power, I would have no light to reflect, I would know only darkness.”

“Loss of trust matters because distrust leads people to disengage from their communities, reduce commitment to their workplace and lose the degree to which they share important information with each other. In short, without trust, people focus on self-protection and become unwilling to make themselves vulnerable. (...) People who lack trust are limited in what they can accomplish together.”
