" We all fall. Every one of us. We fall, and we fail, and we flail, and we flounder. We do right by someone and end up hurting someone else. We get beat up and we do our share of beating. We screw up more than we succeed. That’s life, babe. But those successes? They’re so bright and beautiful that they swallow the darkness—every blot, stain, and mar on our souls. "
