Sunday Inspiration: The Hardest Battles

“Hatun sees a different world that you or I, a far more frightening one, full of far more terrible dangers, and still she chooses to be the hero whom that world needs. She has saved this town and its people from countless monsters countless times. That the battles are usually in her head does not lesson the bravery of it. The hardest battles always are.”
—R. F. Jacaby (via William Ritter)

Sunday Inspiration: Perspective

Two thirds of what we see is behind our eyes.
—Chinese Proverb

Sunday Inspiration: Grief

Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.
—Jamie Anderson

Sunday Inspiration: Risk

A ship is safe in the harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.
—William G. T. Shedd

Sunday Inspiration: Hard Work

Genius begins great works; labor alone finishes them.
