“Everything I had worked for, all my years of study, had been to purchase for myself this one privilege: to see and experience more truths than those given to me by my father, and to use those truths to construct my own mind. I had come to believe that the ability to evaluate many ideas, many histories, many points of view, was at the heart of what it means to self-create. If I yielded now, I would lose more than an argument. I would lose custody of my own mind. This was the price I was being asked to pay, I understood that now. What my father wanted to cast from me wasn’t a demon: it was me.”
― Tara Westover, Educated

When men take up dreams much bigger than themselves, they lighten up, and become bigger than they ever thought they could ever be”

“Kindness, kindness, kindness.

I want to make a New year's prayer, not a resolution. I'm praying for courage.”
