Acceptance Quote by Andrew Solomon

“We think that fear must be played out in fight, with military intervention, or in flight, via isolationism - but we are not hunted game, and those are not the only options. There is also the possibility of acceptance, with its corollary of understanding and its ultimate manifestation in embracing.” quote by Andrew Solomon — Download Open image
