    “In this populist regime, everything belongs to the people. If everyone owned everything , then, of course, no one owned anything. So how could it be theft if no one owned it?”
    Rafael Polo, Growing Up American

    Paul Spencer Sochaczewski
    “With Wallace, Ali became one of the best-travelled young Malay men of the time.”
    Paul Spencer Sochaczewski, "Look Here, Sir, What a Curious Bird": Searching for Ali, Alfred Russel Wallace's Faithful Companion

    Eli Wilde
    “A shadow moved in the street below and my mind became focused on the movement. This shadow caught my attention because it moved so quickly. Usually when people remained in the shadows they moved slowly, unless they were running from something and then the sound of running could be heard. I did”
    Eli Wilde, My Unbeating Heart

    Steven Decker
    “In my country, we value achievement. People are free to decide what that means to them, and I’ve always considered helping others to be my way of accomplishing something important. I was hoping to serve others with my new job, but that’s history now, so I’m going to have to accomplish something big, or I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”
    Steven Decker, Projector for Sale

    Anne  Michaud
    “The five Roosevelt children had 17 marriages among them. They struggled to find security in love.”

    Aimee Cabo Nikolov
    “Unconditional Love conquers all!”
    Aimee Cabo Nikolov, Love is the Answer God is the Cure

  • #7
    Viktor E. Frankl
    “Sensitive people who were used to a rich intellectual life may have suffered much pain (they were often of a delicate constitution), but the damage to their inner selves was less. They were able to retreat from their terrible surroundings to a life of inner riches and spiritual freedom. Only in this way can one explain the apparent paradox that some prisoners of a less hardy make-up often seemed to survive camp life better than did those of a robust nature.”
    Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

  • #8
    Tim Butcher
    “Almost astride the Equator, night fell like a portcullis. The sun dropped below the horizon and suddenly all was dark.”
    Tim Butcher, Blood River: A Journey to Africa’s Broken Heart

    Mary Norton
    “As people, other people, living in a house who . . . borrow things?"
    Mrs. May laid down her work. "What do you think?" she asked.
    "I don't know," Kate said, pulling hard at her shoe button. "There can't be. And yet"-she raised her head-"and yet sometimes I think there must be."
    "Why do you think there must be?" asked Mrs. May.
    "Because of all the things that disappear. Safety pins, for instance. Factories go on making safety pins, and every day people go on buying safety pins and yet, somehow, there never is a safety pin just when you want one. Where are they all? Now, at this minute? Where do they go to? Take needles," she went on. "All the needles my mother ever bought-there must be hundreds-can't just be lying about this house."
    "Not lying about the house, no," agreed Mrs. May.
    "And all the other things we keep on buying. Again and again and again. Like pencils and match boxes and sealing-wax and hairpins and drawing pins and thimbles-”
    Mary Norton, The Borrowers

    Carl Sagan
    “The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.”
    Carl Sagan

  • #11
    Madeline Miller
    “He showed me his scars, and in return he let me pretend that I had none.”
    Madeline Miller, Circe

  • #12
    Barbara Kingsolver
    “The arrogance of the able-bodied is staggering. Yes, maybe we'd like to be able to get places quickly, and carry things in both hands, but only because we have to keep up with the rest of you. We would rather be just like us, and have that be all right.”
    Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

  • #13
    Lisa Kaniut Cobb
    “They don't know what a stand up guy you are." 
    "Even more so, now that I have four legs, right?”
    Lisa Kaniut Cobb, Down in the Valley

  • #14
    “AI-powered passive monitoring is taking off and has huge advantages over the traditional way of monitoring patients. The advantage of passive monitoring, as opposed to data collected from wearables, is that it doesn’t require patients or seniors to actively wear a device at all times. Used in a hospital setting, the tech reduces healthcare workers’ risk of exposure to COVID-19 by limiting their contact with patients and automating data collection for vital signs. Also, camera-based monitoring is unpopular for the simple reason that a lot of people don’t like being watched by a camera.”
    Ronald M. Razmi, AI Doctor: The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare - A Guide for Users, Buyers, Builders, and Investors

  • #15
    Merlin Franco
    “The best way to make a line appear shorter without touching it is to draw a longer line next to it. It works with grief, too.”
    Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker

  • #16
    Sara Pascoe
    “Then Raya saw Rebecca West, the fourteen-year-old who only saved her own life by testifying against her mother, and then she saw her own face reflected in these girls – a swirl of chance, and life and sorrow.”
    Sara Pascoe, Being a Witch, and Other Things I Didn't Ask For

  • #17
    Diane Merrill Wigginton
    “Oh, sorry, love. I was just getting out of the shower when I heard this loud commotion in front of my door.” Jake gave her a sloppy grin. “I didn’t realize there was a dress code when coming to the aid of a beautiful neighbor. I’ll keep it in mind for the next time I come running.”
    Diane Merrill Wigginton, A Compromising Position

  • #18
    A.R. Merrydew
    “If you could travel back in time, you would miss out on all of the mistakes you made. You would undoubtedly be someone very different. Long live my past and my mistakes.”
    A.R. Merrydew

  • #19
    Barbara Sontheimer
    “Only someone watching him closely like Celena would have noticed his intense preoccupation, and that something in a split second had happened to him.  She wondered where he had gone when he should have been listening to the sermon, where his soul had gone went it had left his body.”
    Barbara Sontheimer, Victor's Blessing

  • #20
    T.H. White
    “So little time to pass?” said Merlyn, and a big tear ran down to the end of his nose.”
    T.H. White, The Once and Future King

  • #21
    Kathryn Stockett
    “But Lou Anne, she understood the point of the book before she even read it. The one who was missing the point this time was me.”
    Kathryn Stockett, The Help

  • #22
    Joseph Heller
    “[They] agreed that it was neither possible nor necessary to educate people who never questioned anything.”
    Joseph Heller, Catch-22

  • #23
    Ki Longfellow
    “Men and women will forever make gods of others rather than see the god in themselves.”
    Ki Longfellow, The Secret Magdalene

    Nancy E. Turner
    “How could I explain to a beautiful lady in a silk dress that when I picked up her baby girl, I felt that lady's long-ago chubby shape in my arms, smelled her sunshine-touched hair? That years and years of tiny memories flitted past my heart like a flock of birds spinning on invisible air? It was the smell of the little girls, slightly wet, somewhat soapy, the smell of porridge supper, and the taste of kissed-away tears. Here in my arms were the best parts of life, going on, blooming like a strong tree.”
    Nancy E. Turner, Sarah's Quilt

    Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder

    Rebecca Harlem
