Quote for Señora

A recurring feature on Curmudgeon Alley is Quote of the Day.  Okay they are not daily as I do not want too get to many quotes on the same page of my blog. However, I did come across one today that perfectly describes Robin aka the enduring Señora Weinhaus.

“If you have been brutally broken but still have the courage to be gentle to others then you deserve a love deeper than the ocean itself.” -Nikita Gill

Apparently Keanu Reeves has paraphrased this quote and made his version very popular too.

“If you have been brutally broken, but still have the courage to be gentle to other living beings, then you’re a badass with the heart of an angel.”

Quote of the Day — Octavia Butler

Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.

To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
~~ Octavia Butler
