“In the beginning, I only wanted to know, love, and serve God and understand the Bible. What harm could that possibly bring?”
Charlene L. Edge, Undertow: My Escape from the Fundamentalism and Cult Control of The Way International

“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”
Gustave Flaubert

“In Senegal, the polite expression for saying someone died is to say his or her library has burned. When I first heard the phrase, I didn’t understand it, but over time I came to realize it was perfect. Our minds and souls contain volumes inscribed by our experiences and emotions; each individual’s consciousness is a collection of memories we’ve cataloged and stored inside us, a private library of a life lived.”
Susan Orlean, The Library Book

“Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.”
Arthur Ashe

“The great thing is to last and get your work done and see and hear and learn and understand; and write when there is something that you know; and not before, and not too damned much after.”
Ernest Hemingway
