Quotes

Provocation is to push. Evocation is to draw in. So sometimes you’re pushed, sometimes you’re pulled.

I believe in the world being big. I believe in the world always having room for more at the table… I don’t think that I have the confidence to go into unfamiliar places, but I have the curiosity to go into unfamiliar places.
