Tarjei Vesaas
“Four eyes full of gleams and radiance beneath their lashes, filling the looking-glass. Questions shooting out and then hiding again. I don't know: Gleams and radiance, gleaming from you to me, from me to you, and from me to you alone—into the mirror and out again, and never an answer about what this is, never an explanation.”
Tarjei Vesaas, The Ice Palace

Robin DiAngelo
“While implicit bias is always at play because all humans have bias, inequity can occur simply through homogeneity; if I am not aware of the barriers you face, then I won’t see them, much less be motivated to remove them. Nor will I be motivated to remove the barriers if they provide an advantage to which I feel entitled.”
Robin DiAngelo, White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism

L. Frank Baum
“Never give up... No one knows what's going to happen next.”
L. Frank Baum

Sidney Poitier
“John Cassavetes once gave me some advice that has proved invaluable... He said, 'We're good friends, but never, ever do an artistic favor for a friend. Loan friends money, be there for them in every other way, but don't do them any artistic favors, because you've got to have one area of your life where there's no room for compromise.”
Sidney Poitier

Norman Mailer
“For what is a curse but an unfair theft of strength. (Whatever is attempted in the way of improving your position brings back less than the effort exerted.)”
Norman Mailer, Ancient Evenings
