“I am not asking everyone to be activists. I am not asking everyone to march on the front lines. I am not asking every writer, public figure, or celebrity to lead social movements. I am not asking them to make speeches on how they have a dream. I am, however, challenging people not to stay silent as the world crumbles. You do not have to yell. Even a whisper of truth matters in an echo chamber of lies.”
― Luvvie Ajayi, I'm Judging You: The Do-Better Manual

“Half the people I know have dead animals in their freezers: reptiles, birds, mammals. Is that normal?”
― David Sedaris, Theft by Finding: Diaries 1977-2002

“This the seasons come and go, and the years pass by. I’ll age one more year, and probably finish another novel. One by one, I’ll face the tasks before me and complete them as best I can.

― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
