““And love does not mean to be nice to their faces and judge them behind their backs or point out how we think they are evil and dangerous. It means to love them unconditionally. To accept them how they are and treat them no differently than we’d treat our own children.” Eliza wrinkled her nose. “It’s not so easy to love people who hate you.” “No, I guess not. But we’re supposed to do it anyway.””
