| gptkbp:quote |
The true measure of our character is what we do when we think no one is looking.
Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done. We are all broken by something. You can’t understand most of the important things from a distance. The opposite of poverty is not wealth; the opposite of poverty is justice. |
