Quote by Paul Bamikole

“No force is strong enough to break you from the outside. I found out sometimes ago that men are first broken within before they are overwhelmed on the outside. Once you are bankrupt on Joy, it will be hard to keep yourself together. Life will do its best to wear you thin but you must not let it wear you out. The fruit of joy is right there in you, let it blossom.”
