“We'll fight this out the other way. All the way”
Soledad Markowitzes -
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.”
I Corinthians read by Soledad and Leo Markowitzes -
“And sure, things were only things; they couldn't make you safe. But having things of your own around, well, that wasn't unimportant either.”
