Tara Westover
“Guilt is the fear of one’s own wretchedness. It has nothing to do with other people.”
Tara Westover, Educated

Sue Stuart-Smith
“The small pleasures of life are not so small really, it is just that we get into the habit of taking them for granted.”
Sue Stuart-Smith, The Well-Gardened Mind: The Restorative Power of Nature

Melba Pattillo Beals
“Until I am welcomed everywhere as an equal simply because I am human, I remain a warrior on a battlefield that I must not leave. I continue to be a warrior who does not cry but who instead takes action. If one person is denied equality, we are all denied equality.”
Melba Pattillo Beals, Warriors Don't Cry

“The human senses are known to be astoundingly unreliable instruments, easily deceived and fallible. Would you bet everything on shoddy detection equipment? That’s what the materialists have done. Above all, they sneer at the concept of the soul (and mind) because it is something that cannot be detected with the human senses. Would the cosmic mathematical mind reject the soul? The numbers zero and infinity rationally characterize it. Why would zero and infinity be forbidden? Just because the human senses aren’t configured to detect them? Why should the dubious human senses be the determinants of what is mathematically and logically permitted to exist? Human senses are the products of evolution and are designed to allow us to live in this world; they did not evolve as organs of truth to allow us to determine the fundamental nature of reality. […] Most people alive today are irrational. Animals are irrational. […] Even scientists have demonstrated that they will force reason and logic to obey the senses rather than force the senses to obey reason and logic. The question of the existence of the soul is one for reason, not for the human senses. Lack of evidence is not evidence of absence.”
Mike Hockney, The God Equation

Tara Westover
“I began to experience the most powerful advantage of money: the ability to think of things besides money.”
Tara Westover, Educated
