![“I'd spent my life believing that people were, at heart, kind and good. This was what the world had shown me. [...] If humans could be this monstrous, maybe I'd had everything wrong. If thid was the world, I didn't want to live in it. That was the scariest and most disabling thought of all,” quote by Amanda Lindhout](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9e3/amanda-lindhout-8267_life_i-d-spent-my-life-believing-that-people_140063.jpg)
