Quotes by Alexandra Duncan (?)

“Are we always our mistakes? Does anything we do heal them?”
― Alexandra Duncan, Salvage

tags: healing, past, redemption

7 likes

“There’s what you’re forced to do, there’s what you choose, and everything else—most things—are a mix. At best, you’ll spend your life trying not to get hurt, but trying not to do the hurting, either. You won’t always come through, but it’s the best anyone can do. It’s the trying I’d call good.”
― Alexandra Duncan, Salvage

“Perpétue follows my gaze. “They threw you out,” she says. “That doesn’t mean you’re worthless. It only means they didn’t see your worth.”
