Harriet Ann Jacobs
“So I was sold at last! A human being sold in the free city of New York! The bill of sale is on record, and future generations will learn from it that women were articles of traffic in New York, late in the nineteenth century of the Christian religion.”
Harriet Ann Jacobs, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl

Alexis de Tocqueville
“The most perilous moment for a bad government is one when it seeks to mend its ways.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, The Old Regime and the French Revolution

Cecelia Ahern
“It's like my garden, love. Everything grows. Including love. And with that growing everyday how can you expect missing her to ever fade away? Everything builds, including our ability to cope with it. That's how we keep going.”
Cecelia Ahern, Thanks for the Memories

Oliver Sacks
“Du Bois Reymond spoke of “a general feeling of disorder” at the very start of his attacks, and other patients speak, simply, of feeling “unsettled.” In this unsettled state one may feel hot or cold, or both (see, for example, Case 9); bloated and tight, or loose and queasy; a peculiar tension, or languor, or both; there are head pains, or other pains, sundry strains and discomforts, which come and go. Everything comes and goes, nothing is settled, and if one could take a total thermogram, or scan, or inner photograph of the body, one would see vascular beds opening and closing, peristalsis accelerating or stopping, viscera squirming or tightening in spasms, secretions suddenly increasing or lessening—as if the nervous system itself was in a state of indecision.”
Oliver Sacks, Migraine

Margaret Wise Brown
“In the great green room, there was a telephone
And a red balloon
And a picture of a cat jumping over the moon...”
Margaret Wise Brown, Goodnight Moon
