Accepting Quote by Lauren DeStefano

“We accept gods that don't speak to us. We accept gods that would place us in a world filled with injustices and do nothing as we struggle. It's easier than accepting that there's nothing out there at all, and that, in our darkest moments, we are truly alone.” quote by Lauren DeStefano — Download Open image
