"When your fight has purpose -- to free you from something, to interfere on the behalf of the innocent -- it has a hope of finality. When the fight is about unraveling -- when it is about your name, the places to which your blood is anchored, the attachment of your name to some landmark or event -- there is nothing but hate, and the long, slow progression of people who feed on it and are fed it, meticulously, by the ones who come before them. The fight is endless, and comes in waves and waves, but always retains its capacity to surprise those who hope against it."
~ Tea Obreht, The Tiger's Wife
Found this image on KimLoveMuse's FB - seemed serendipitous - and I was having trouble finding good tigers!
