“When tough times come,
it is particularly important
to offset them
with much gentle softness.”
—Vera Nazarian
“Be soft, don’t let the world make you hard. Be gentle, don’t let the people make you difficult. Be kind, don’t let the realities of life steal your sweetness and make you heartless.” — Nurudeen Ushawu
