&ldquo;You do not write your life with words...You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.&rdquo; <br /> ― Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Here&#039;s what I think,&quot; I say and my voice is stronger and thoughts are coming, thoughts that trickle into my noise like whispers of truth. &quot;I think maybe everybody falls,&quot; I say. &quot;I think maybe we all do. And I don&#039;t think that&#039;s the asking.&quot; <br /> I pull on her arms gently to make sure she&#039;s listening.<br /> &quot;I think the asking is whether we get back up again.&rdquo; <br /> ― Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go
