“Kindness is the only strength there is.”
“Maybe weakness is a strength of a kind.”
“Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.”
“The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within - strength, courage, dignity.”
“The strength I'm looking for isn't the type where you win or lose. I'm not after a wall that'll repel power coming from outside. What I want is the kind of strength to be able to absorb that kind of power, to stand up to it. The strength to quietly endure things - unfairness, misfortunes, sadness, mistakes, misunderstandings.”
“You are stronger than me," Asa says. "And in bravery and strength, there is a kind of beauty.”
