“Oh, let me tell you, feelings are all dangerous. Love, hope... Ha! Hope! You talk about dangerous, eh? No, you can't avoid any of them. We all own a beast called anger. It can serve us: many good things come out of anger at bad things; many unjust things are made just. But first we all have to figure out how to civilize it.”
― Sara Pennypacker, Pax

“The books we read in literature classes--just innocuous letters and symbols on paper, until we run the words through our brains and allow the fiction to manifest in the real world.”

― Bill Ayers, Demand the Impossible!: A Radical Manifesto
