Daniel James Brown
“And he came to understand how those almost mystical bonds of trust and affection, if nurtured correctly, might lift a crew above the ordinary sphere, transport it to a place where nine boys somehow became one thing—a thing that could not quite be defined, a thing that was so in tune with the water and the earth and the sky above that, as they rowed, effort was replaced by ecstasy.”
Daniel James Brown, The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics

Maureen Dowd
“It’s the fusion of their magnetism with our ordinary existence that creates the magic.”
Maureen Dowd, Notorious: Portraits of Stars from Hollywood, Culture, Fashion, and Tech

John M. Barry
“For the virus had not disappeared. It had only gone underground, like a forest fire left burning in the roots, swarming and mutating, adapting, honing itself, watching and waiting, waiting to burst into flame.”
John M. Barry, The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History

Amy Liptrot
“And then, in my hand, I hold my phone containing the whole internet: all of my friends, the entirety of Wikipedia. The internet is always offering an elsewhere. I spend my days being distracted, attention pulled from this to that. I’m doing well to get anything done at all. Which world do I choose to enter?”
Amy Liptrot, The Instant

John M. Barry
“But the virus, even as it lost some of its virulence, was not yet finished. Only weeks after the disease seemed to have dissipated, when town after town had congratulated itself on surviving it—and in some places where people had had the hubris to believe they had defeated it—after health boards and emergency councils had canceled orders to close theaters, schools, and churches and to wear masks, a third wave broke over the earth.”
John M. Barry, The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History
