“this body can trace its bloodline to you. That makes us related. It doesn't make us family”
“It's not blood that makes us who we are," Dad said. "It's family. And it's not blood that makes us family. It's love.”
“Our bloodlines (family) have a hard time appreciating our good work and congratulate us for it... But it's so easy for them to hurt you by small flaws on your work.”
“God doesn't bless us just to make us happy; He blesses us to make us a blessing.”
“It's strange how pain marks our faces, and makes us look like family.”
“What doesn't kill us, makes us writers.”
