Cornelius Elmore Addison
“It is noble to love another without caring to know who gave them breath.”
Cornelius Elmore Addison, Tom Thorneval: Dream Merchant Extraordinaire

“Life is a useless passion, an exciting journey of a mammal in survival mode. Each day is a miracle, a blessing unexplored and the more you immerse yourself in light, the less you will feel the darkness. There is more to life than nothingness. And cynicism. And nihilism. And selfishness. And glorious isolation. Be selfish with yourself, but live your life through your immortal acts, acts that engrain your legacy onto humanity. Transcend your fears and follow yourself into the void instead of letting yourself get eaten up by entropy and decay. Freedom is being yourself without permission. Be soft and leave a lasting impression on everybody you meet”
Mohadesa Najumi

Christina Baker Kline
“The older I get, the more I believe that the greatest kindness is acceptance.”
Christina Baker Kline, A Piece of the World

Fred Rogers
“Love doesn’t mean a state of perfect caring. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now—and to go on caring through joyful times and through times that may bring us pain.”
Fred Rogers, Dear Mister Rogers, Does It Ever Rain in Your Neighborhood?: Letters to Mister Rogers

Tade Thompson
“Nobody like everybody," says Fin. "Some people are shitty."

Tade Thompson, Far from the Light of Heaven

Alex Brunkhorst
“You taste salty-" Matilda licked her lips "-like pretzels."
It was an intimate gesture. I brushed her lips with mine, and it brought me back to that magical night at the estate bowling alley when I treaded carefully with my lips.
"You taste sweet," I said. "Like sugar."
"Like guava." Matilda grinned playfully.
"I missed you." It came out before I could think about it.
"I missed you squared, times seven, plus four," Matilda replied.
It reminded me of something Matilda would have said at the estate- childish in a way. She was a completely different woman than the girl I had met on the tennis court, yet in some ways still the same. I needed to love the woman she was becoming, not just the girl she had been.”
Alex Brunkhorst, The Gilded Life of Matilda Duplaine

Katie Coyle
“You can't go through life distinguishing the Believers from the Non-Believers and divvying up your love and trust accordingly. It's more complicated than that, Viv, and you know it. Don't be the kind of person who sees groups instead of people.”
Katie Coyle, Vivian Apple at the End of the World

C. JoyBell C.
“Life is like a roadtrip: you pass by many people and many situations and they're all different. You don't stop on your roadtrip to try and fix everything that you see along the way. Or judge every encounter as good or bad. You only experience what you see as part of your roadtrip, leaving everyone and everything at that. A compassionate acceptance.”
C. JoyBell C.

Colleen Hoover
“I promised myself when I first met her that I wasn’t going to prejudge her by labeling her a locker room girl like I almost did with Sara. No matter who Cierra was in high school, or who I was, we’re all made up of more than our past behaviors, good or bad.

I no longer want to be the version of myself who judged people before accepting them. I was projecting all the behaviors I resented.”
Colleen Hoover, Heart Bones

“Acceptance of others is acceptance of yourself.”
Benjamin Brown

Donna Goddard
“Love begins with an acceptance of the person as they are. That does not mean we accept bad behaviour or a lazy attitude towards life. Our primary focus is on loving the person, come what may. Part of love is helping them become the best they can be. We want the best for them, but our love is not dependent on it. Life, without any assistance from us, has its teaching methods.”
Donna Goddard, Touched by Love

Darcy Luoma
“Thoughtfully Fit is all about focusing on how you can be different—not anyone else. This isn’t about changing your boss or your spouse or your neighbor. Only they can do that. All you can do is change yourself.”
Darcy Luoma, Thoughtfully Fit: Your Training Plan for Life and Business Success

C. JoyBell C.
“I have found the courage to see people exactly where they are at, without acting on my need to gloss them over, to coat them with sugar, to paint them nicely. And then I have applied that courage to embracing and accepting them exactly that way, for where and who they precisely are.”
C. JoyBell C.

“Acceptance is usually one of the most trying learning experiences. Some things may appear impossible to overlook or get past but therein lies the absolute peace of mind. The world won't adjust by our pretty wishes or skillful hands. Gotta give up control sometimes.”
Chinonye J. Chidolue

“Acceptance is a whole different kind of maturity.
It is a gift of freedom to self more than to others.”
Chinonye J. Chidolue

Darnell Lamont Walker
“Change is scary until you dance with it.”
Darnell Lamont Walker

Jessica Speer
“Everyone looks for different things in friendship, but deep down, everyone is trying to find the same stuff; acceptance and belonging.”
Jessica Speer, Middle School - Safety Goggles Advised: Exploring the WEIRD Stuff from Gossip to Grades, Cliques to Crushes and Popularity to Peer Pressure

Sonia Choquette
“Soul worker: [...] To find peace: it meant she had to stop scorning the souls around her hooked on drugs, reproducing countless babies, living on welfare. Instead she had to minister to their souls, give them dignity by showing basic love and kindness. Her mission was not to save them, help them, change them - just simply to salute the good within them. That is the job of a soul worker. And when people do their job and fulfill their spiritual goals, they become peaceful and secure. Joy wells up from within.”
Sonia Choquette, The Psychic Pathway: A Workbook for Reawakening the Voice of Your Soul

Andrzej Sapkowski
“Yes, indeed' said the vampire, impervious to the
derision. ‘Your mutated race is capable of regenerating its fingernails, toenails, hair and epidermis, but is unable to accept the fact that other races are more advanced in that respect. That inability is not the result of your primitiveness. Quite the opposite: it’s a result of egotism and a conviction in your own perfection. Anything that is more perfect than you must be a repulsive aberration. And repulsive aberrations are consigned to myths, for
sociological reasons.”
Andrzej Sapkowski, Baptism of Fire

“People need to see themselves in the stories. How can we only say 'he' and 'she' when we are 'all'? How can we ask great things of ourselves if all we see are others as heroes?”
ML Dunker

Nicoleclaire C.
“It's like we're all trying so hard to be something special that we forget it's okay to just be ourselves.”
Nicoleclaire C., Guardians of Glyndor

“If I could stop getting caught in the old cobwebs of disappointment and accept my dad as he was, I might enjoy myself too.

In the emotional tumbling routine of my father slowly dying, I did manage to land the dismount from the old pain. I successfully let go of any blame or desire from a different version of a dad. He and I were both grateful when I could just easily and simply sit with him in love.”
Meghan Riordan Jarvis, End of the Hour: A Therapist's Memoir

Reena Doss
