    Tracy Kidder
    “We’re making up for what wasn’t done for our patients. What you didn’t provide—schools, jobs, safety.” In truth, though, over the first ten years he and his colleagues rarely had occasion to question the worthiness of what they were doing, simply because they were so busy doing it.”

    Ruta Sepetys
    “Every nation has hidden history, countless stories preserved only by those who experienced them. Stories of war are often read and discussed worldwide by readers whose nations stood on opposite sides during battle. History divided us, but through reading we can be united in story, study, and remembrance. Books join us together as a global reading community, but more important, a global human community striving to learn from the past.”

    Philip Pullman
    “Lord, if I thought you were listening, I'd pray for this above all: that any church set up in your name should remain poor, and powerless, and modest. That it should wield no authority except that of love. That it should never cast anyone out. That it should own no property and make no laws. That it should not condemn, but only forgive.”

    Sylvia Plath
    “You do not do, you do not do
    Any more, black shoe
    In which I have lived like a foot
    For thirty years, poor and white,
    Barely daring to breathe or Achoo.

    Daddy, I have had to kill you.
    You died before I had time―
    Marble-heavy, a bag full of God,
    Ghastly statue with one grey toe
    Big as a Frisco seal”
    ― Sylvia Plath, Ariel
