Quitting is not giving up, it's choosing to focus your attention on something more important. Quitting is not losing confidence, it's realising that there are more valuable ways you can spend your time.

Quitting is letting go of things or people that are sucking the life out of you so you can do more things that will bring you strength.

If any more threads that held it together were cut, he wasn’t sure it would ever repair again. And he knew they were more than capable of being the ones to ruin him.
