Doubt Quote by Marya Hornbacher

“When we doubt, we learn to accept that we may not ever know. When we question, we learn to accept that there may be no answer. When we shout our doubt out into the universe, we learn to accept that we may be met with a silence we do not know how to read.” quote by Marya Hornbacher
