“You can be all that you wish and desire to be.
Take the challenge and pursue your most cherished dreams.”
Lailah Gifty Akita

Ava Reid
“You don't see yourself very clearly, Effy.' Preston shifted in his seat so that they were facing one another. 'Challenging me isn't pestering. I'm not always right. Sometimes I deserve to be challenged. And changing your mind isn't foolish. It just means you've learned something new. Everyone changes their mind sometimes, as they should, or else they're just, I don't know, stubborn and ignorant. Moving water is healthy; stagnant water is sickly. Tainted.”
Ava Reid, A Study in Drowning
