Colson Whitehead
“The world may be mean, but people don't have to be, not if they refuse.”
Colson Whitehead, The Underground Railroad

Meg Wolitzer
“People did what they could, as powerfully as they could, until they couldn't do it anymore. There wasn't much time.”
Meg Wolitzer, The Female Persuasion

Bill Ayers
“What do we hope to accomplish? What will help us realize our deepest dreams and desires? In what ways is education liberating, and in what ways can schooling be entangling and oppressive? Can learning be cast as a creative act, enjoyable and social, or is it always framed as competitive and brutal? What does it mean to be an educated person? What does it mean to be free? Awakened to fundamental and forbidden questions, a new world of possibilities heaves into view.”
Bill Ayers, Demand the Impossible!: A Radical Manifesto

Matthew Quick
“Then we talked a lot about our parents and how we didn't want to become them, but we had no other role models--or "maps," Alex kept saying. "My father is a terrible map, mostly because he doesn't ever lead me anywhere." And I thought about my parents being maps that led to places I didn't want to go--and it made a shocking amount of sense, using the word maps to describe parents. It almost made you feel like you could fold Mom and Dad up and lock them away in the glove compartment of your car and just joyride for the rest of your life maybe.”
Matthew Quick, Every Exquisite Thing

Matthew Quick
“Do people actually do that--go back and thank their teachers years later, when they're no longer handicapped by youth and ignorance, when they figure out just how much their teachers actually did for them?”
Matthew Quick, Love May Fail
