    “As I sat dumbfounded, seemingly paralyzed in my corner, resorting to my old, reliable strategy of scribbling when unsure of how to respond to Sanjit, Sanjit appended his counsel with a dose of silence – one reminiscent to that of a few days prior. The students looked upward and downward, fans to notes to pens to toes, outward and inward, peers to souls, and of course, toward the direction of the perceived elephant in the room, Sanjit’s books. Simultaneously, Sanjit confidently and patiently searched among the students before finding my eyes; once connected, the lesson moved forward.”

    “Where did you see him?” Heidi asked.
    “At the grocery store,” Mildred replied. “He was picking out a cantaloupe. Of course, I had to give him some tips. He was about to pick one that wasn’t anywhere near ripe.” The women tossed each other knowing looks.”

    Amy L. Bernstein
    “She sensed an ending, and she thought that Flint did too. But she also sensed a beginning. The post-pandemic world would continue to unfold in many directions at once—many of them troubling and disheartening, she imagined. She had to counteract even just a fraction of that negative energy.”

    Rick Mystrom
    “Most people don’t know how to lose weight. They try different diets with good intentions and hope. They fail. They try again and fail. Then they often give up and return to eating for satisfaction and fulfillment. 

    Why have so many failed? They’ve tried cutting out sweets. That helps, but it’s only part of the cause of their weight gain. They’ve tried counting calories. That’s burdensome and, again, only part of the story. They’ve failed because no one has ever told them, in clear, everyday terms, how we all gain and lose weight.”

    Hunter S. Thompson
    “Nonetheless, I felt like I knew him well enough so that we did not have to do much talking. From the very beginning I had felt a definite contact with Yeoman, a kind of tenuous understanding that talk is pretty cheap in this league and that a man who knew what he was after had damn little time to find it, much less to sit back and explain himself.”

    Ernesto Che Guevara
    “سەروازەکان لە کوشتنی من شەرم دەکەن.
    بەڵام مردنی من شتێکی پاوەجێیە.
    زیندووی ئازادی‌خوازێک بەردەوام مەترسیدارە.
    هەر ژ بۆ ئەوەیە زیندووی منیان ناوێ.
    وابزانم هەموو دنیا زانیویەتی،
    کە نرخی ئازادی چییە!.

    هەر شتێ نرخێکی هەیە.
    من نرخی ئازادی بە مردنم دەدەم.”
    ― Ernesto Che Guevara
