Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“We sometimes use a friend to prevent or stop ourselves from feeling abnormal (or crazy) for liking or enjoying something (or some of the things) that we like or enjoy.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana, On Friendship: A Satirical Essay

Jess Keating
“Florence embodies what it means to love nature. We mustn't just enjoy the wild places and creatures that have our hearts. We must stand up, share what we know, and act to protect them.”
― Jess Keating, Birdlore: The Iridescent Life of Florence Merriam Bailey
