Quotes by Rachel John (?)

“The old man shrugged. “In my house growing up, if you didn’t cheat at cards, you weren’t trying hard enough.”
― Rachel John, I Hated You First

“The baby shower had not been well attended, and therefore, Jenny was robbed of the chance to drop off a gift and sneak out like she’d planned. She was currently being forced to play games such as sucking juice out of a baby bottle in a chug-off and identifying baby food flavors spread across diapers to look like baby poo. Basically, an introvert’s worst nightmare. 17”

“There are lots of shades of brown. Your eyes, for example, are a rich, coffee color with a swirl of cream in the middle. A girl could get lost in”

Rachel’s Quotes

“This is perhaps as good a place as any to point out that what distinguishes many reformers from those who cannot accept their proposals is not their greater philanthropy, but their greater impatience. The question is not whether we wish to see everybody as well off as possible. Among men of good will such an aim can be taken for granted. The real question concerns the proper means of achieving it. And in trying to answer this we must never lose sight of a few elementary truisms. We cannot distribute more wealth than is created. We cannot in the long run pay labor as a whole more than it produces.”
― Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson

“Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It's a way of understanding it.”
