“Privilege is being born on third base. Ignorant privilege is thinking you’re there because you hit a triple. Malicious privilege is complaining that those starving outside the ballpark aren’t waiting patiently enough.”
― Glennon Doyle, Untamed

“There is no greater burden on a child than the unlived life of a parent.”
― Glennon Doyle, Untamed

“I finally understand why people get tattoos of those they have lost. The need to proclaim not merely the loss but the love, the continuity. I am my father’s daughter.

― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief
