“Crying is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s a natural response. So natural, that it is when we cry that we experience our true humanity. And our humanity is a beautiful thing. So beautiful that, when we experience the depth of our humanity, the depth of God’s divinity is able to be seen more clearly as well. Never, ever, be ashamed to cry.”

― Mark Oliver Everett, Things The Grandchildren Should Know
