Protecting Children Quotes

1. "I once held a belief that life made sense, that working toward a dream would birth substance. Nothing else mattered. I soon discovered that success is as long-lasting as any of life's novelties.

Our stories are decorative shells for the crabs we really are, both protecting and exposing us to the manic outside."
