“I heard police or ambulancemen, standing in our house, say, “She must have provoked him,” or, “Mrs Stewart, it takes two to make a fight.” They had no idea.

Violence is a choice a man makes and he alone is responsible for it.”-Patrick Stewart

You fierce, wonderful man. 

This is why I consider Sir Patrick Stewart my imaginary uncle.

Fun fact that EVERYONE probably knows but I only recently learned. The skull on the moth is Salvador Dali’s portrait of naked women creating a skull. Felt really dumb when I realized that, but it’s so cool!
