Quote by Elizabeth Tambascio

“Hungry? Thirsty? Tired and need a place to lay your head? Need your shoe tied? A book read? A ride to baseball? New sheets for your dorm? A babysitter for your kids? A quiet cup of tea? Do you need help navigating a problem? A heartache? A loss? Celebrating a win? Want motivation? Validation? To be challenged? To be held? To be loved? Call a mom.”

“Las partes feas no desaparecen si miras a otro lado. Las equivocaciones no se borran con goma. Lo que se guarda ocupa un espacio limitado y acaba por desbordarse. O puede que no, y esa posibilidad es aún peor. Entregarte a la inercia.

“And in all the political debates about immigration that have been raging across this country, amid all the easy, glib rhetoric about America being a nation of immigrants, this loss, this toll, this terrible giving up, often goes unmentioned. The popular media focuses on what is gained: freedom, liberty, material wealth, opportunity, independence, the ability to recreate yourself.
