I hope that the member who has this quote in their siggy doesn't mind me sharing this. I would ''normally'' ask permission first, anyway I'm hoping this is ok (I'm late today and sleep deprived grrr me) I have been thinking along very similar lines lately so this quote resonated with me.

''If you have been brutally broken but still have the courage to be gentle to other living beings, then you are a badass with a heart of an angel'' - Keanu Reeves
