Influence Of Others Quotes

He swept his thumb over her wet cheekbone. “The Anishinaabe have no word for goodbye.” “What do you say in parting?” “You see Life as a straight line, but for us Life is a circle. After something or someone enters our circle they travel with us forever influencing us even if they are not physically present. To us there is no such thing as goodbye.” Once again water filled her eyes as Asku’s voice became an echo in her thoughts . . . .”

“There's a moment in the buddleia's lifecycle, purple flowers blooming, cabbage white butterflies flitting, when it's beautiful and triumphant, sprouting out of the broken wall without an ounce of earth to flourish in. That's what we humans have to do, I think whenever I see it, keep blooming despite the barren circumstances we sometimes find ourselves in.

You can only fight so hard, and for so long, before your environment engulfs you.”
