“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you.”

— Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.”

— Veronica Roth, Divergent

So why carry this pain? When all the love in the universe dwells within you. Find it. The happiness you’re seeking begins and will always

begin . . .

with you.

— Robert M. Drake, Empty Bottles Full of Stories
