Prove Yourself Quote by Leigh Bardugo
““How could it be wrong to wish to prove yourself?" she asked, a fierce light in her eyes. "You were not wrong to dare." "Jason -" "Jason cannot protect you forever. We cannot spend our lives in hiding, wondering what we might accomplish if given the chance. We have to take that chance ourselves. You were brave to board that boat." "I was stupid. Everything that happened just proved Jason right." "No. You survived the wreck. When the waves came, you held on. Maybe you were stronger than you think you are, than anyone thinks you are.””
