Acceptance Quote by Raven Williams
““I share with you my beliefs and my way of life that you might understand me. I listen as you share with me your beliefs and way of life that I might understand you. For it is only through truly listening and sharing that we can understand one another. Through understanding comes acceptance. Through acceptance we may one day be able to live together in peace.””
