![Even there, in the mines, underground, I may find a human heart in another convict and murderer by my side, and I may make friends with him, for even there one may live and love and suffer. One may thaw and revive a frozen heart in that convict, one may wait upon him for years, and at last bring up from the dark depths a lofty soul, a feeling, suffering creature; one may bring forth an angel, create a hero! There are so many of them, hundreds of them, and we are all to blame for them. [...] If they drive God from the earth, we shall shelter Him underground.](/assets/img/quote-photos/even-there-in-the-mines-underground-i-may-find-a-human-heart-in-another-convic.jpg)

And through that we have a greater understanding of ourselves and acceptance of each other. Kerry Washington
