Abandon Quotes

Quotes on walking away, and refusing to.

Abandon carries several meanings across this set: a stated refusal to walk away from a commitment, a historical account of shifting manufacturing priorities, and a personal vow to stop giving up on one's own needs to please others. Growth is a quiet thread running through all of them.
