Bad thing Quote by Michael Phillips
““But a good knife. Cutting out bad things from inside you’s a good and necessary thing, and if it sometimes takes a little pain to get it done, I reckon that’s the price a person has to pay to grow up and become the kind of person God wants him to be—or who God wants her to be.””
