“You either fight active evil or you accept it. Doing nothing is acceptance. There is no in-between.”

“Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that's good.”

“And I think that you do not understand that sometimes the only choice is between acceptance and madness.”

“There's a difference between apathy and acceptance. Apathy lets you endure life. Acceptance helps you enjoy it.”

“We have to accept ourselves in order to write. Now none of us does that fully: few of us do it even halfway. Don’t wait for one hundred percent acceptance of yourself before you write, or even eight percent acceptance. Just write. The process of writing is an activity that teaches us about acceptance.”

“The only way to accept evil in the world, is first to accept evil in yourself”.”
