Penelope Fitzgerald
“I don't know that men are better judges than women, said Florence, but they spend much less time regretting their decisions.”
Penelope Fitzgerald, The Bookshop

“Don’t boo, vote - Barack Obama 2016
We intellectualise society’s faults, dissecting them on Facebook pages…… but rarely do we make the necessary strides to affect change in the real world. We boo, but we don’t vote! We need to transfer our resistance from the internet to the real world and reignite purposeful outrage that drove society forward in the offline era.”
Ashley Dotty Charles

Elie Wiesel
“The sun is rising? And yet it will set. A night of anguish? And yet it too, will pass.”
Elie Wiesel

Maggie O'Farrell
“What redemption there is in being loved: we are always our best selves when loved by another. Nothing can replace this.”
Maggie O'Farrell

“Maybe it is just easier to focus on life’s trivial missteps when the real challenges feel so insurmountable. But by doing this aren’t we also exhausting ourselves on petty grievances and leaving nothing in the tank for the real issues?”
Ashley Dotty Charles
