"When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sand paper. They may scratch and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up polished and they end up useless."
CHRIS COLFER

This quote is about agency and perspective: choosing to see pain not as a destruction, but as a catalyst for growth, while recognising that cruelty diminishes the one who inflicts it.
