Quote of the Week: “Love has to be stronger than hate…”

Happy Monday! I hope you had a beautiful weekend, feel refreshed, and are ready for a new week. This week’s quote comes from one of my favorite books, The Nightingale. I’ve posted a quote from this novel before, but it’s full of amazing passages, so I couldn’t help myself. 😊

“Love has to be stronger than hate, or there is no future for us.”

Kristin Hannah, The Nightingale

Vianne, one of the story’s protagonists, says this to her daughter after she has endured physical and emotional trauma. Despite everything she has been through, this character chooses to find goodness and joy in her life. Rather than wallowing in self-pity and hating the people who harmed her, Vianne loves those around her and encourages her daughter to do the same. No matter how much pain she felt, she knew her love had to be stronger.

I hope this brings you some encouragement. May you have a wonderful week filled with love and joy.
