Rufi Thorpe Quote: “We needed to pretend violence was something we could control. That if you were good and did the right things, it wouldn’t happen to you.”

Rufi Thorpe Quote: “What aided the mind made the body suffer. They could choose mental health or physical health, but they could not have both.”
