Change Quote by Shauna Niequist
““How often have you found yourself truly moved to change, to choose a better path or make something right, because someone on the internet screamed about it? I’m not saying the internet is inherently bad. I’m saying it allows us to communicate our strong beliefs and opinions outside of relationship, and that’s a lot like swinging a hammer at a piece of ice cold metal, hoping it will transform.””
