“Life is going to give you things to be angry at. I don’t want you to be consumed by that anger or forget how much you’re capable of.”
― Matthew Thomas, We Are Not Ourselves

“When life seems too cruel, and there seems too little love in it. When you feel you have failed. When you don't know what the point is. When you cannot go on. I want you to draw strength from me then. I want you to remember how much I cherished you, how I lived for you. When the world seems full of giants who dwarf you, when it feels like a struggle just to keep your head up, I want you to remember there is more to live for than mere achievement. It is worth something to be a good man. It cannot be worth nothing to do the right thing.”
― Matthew Thomas, We Are Not Ourselves

“The point wasn’t always to do what you want. The point was to do what you did and to do it well.”
― Matthew Thomas, We Are Not Ourselves

“Sometimes he thought his real goal wasn't to teach them to write better essays but to get them to think more about what it meant to be human.”
