Quote by Nicholas Binge

“People like to think empathy means being able to imagine how you'd feel in a certain situation,' she said, head tilted, holding my gaze. 'But it really doesn't. It means being able to imagine how they'd feel, and how it might be completely different from you.”

“I loved him. I couldn't pinpoint what made me so certain, but I knew it then, as surely as I knew my name or the color of the sky or any fact written in a book. Could he feel it, too? Maxon broke the kiss and looked at me. "You're so pretty when you are a mess." I laughed nervously. "Thank you. For that and for the rain and for not giving up." He ran his fingers along my cheek and nose and chin. "You're worth it. I don't think that you get that. You're worth it to me.”

“I love that our sudden access to the entire history of human knowledge has afforded us the information we need to self-diagnose our heretofore ignored mental health; among so many other things hidden from us. We also see history laid bare before us, sans embellishing by the brutal and subhuman “victors” of bloody invasions that wrongly usurped land and resources that would have been voluntarily shared, had they any sort of backbone or ounce of morality at ALL. Now we suffer and toil on said stolen land at useless busy work, slave labor jobs that only exist to build wealth for shareholders and further poison the land they claim as their own while draining the remaining “good years” from us like opening a vein. Reject the system, and escape the grid, the more of us that exit the machine the faster it rusts and grinds to its inevitable halt… and the earth and all its inhabitants can finally heal.”

“If you don’t know how to respond to someone who experienced loss, try putting yourself in that person’s shoes. Ask yourself how you would respond if you were in her situation. Ask yourself what you would want to hear and what you wouldn’t want to hear. It’s possible you wouldn’t want to hear anything. You might just want someone to sit and grieve with you.”
