Quotes about contrast

1. It's just that...I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.

- Arthur C. Brooks

3. The most effective leaders are actually better at guarding against danger when they acknowledge it that it exists.

- Simon Sinek
