...sometimes broken things make the best building supplies.
and we'll keep on building.
hearts aren't made of glass,
they're made of muscle, and blood, and something else.
and they don't so much as break, as bend and tear.
we have what it takes to keep it together;
and move on.

Courage
Have you the courage to dance on a mirror? Have you more strength than the brilliance of a bee upon its knees, than the kiss of pearls shoulder to shoulder?
- Houda Al-Naamani, from I Remember I Was a Point, I Was a Circle
