Quote by Nicholas Evans, The Horse Whispe

Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all. It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater.

Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all.
