Quote by Andrea Gibson

“And we were Banksy on an overpass in New Orleans spray-painting porch lights on the hurricane. We were welcome mats for the un-forgiven. We never sold our windpipes to make a living. We were the letters sent to the wrong address, but opened anyway. We opened anyway.”

“My father told me never to take my foot off a ladder to kick at someone who was kicking at me. When I did that, I would no longer be climbing.

In trying to hurt me, to impede my progress, they would get left behind because they allowed themselves to get sidetracked from their agenda.”
