“Effort, productivity, and the sacrifice of everything else in life are valorized and fetishized.”
Sarah Wynn-Williams, Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism

“They are those who know that one becomes great because of who they lift up, not who they put down.”
Sharon McMahon, The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History

“You are not what happened to you. You are what you do next.”
Abby Jimenez, Just for the Summer

“But what I’m seeing is that the more comfortable he gets, the less he cares. As his importance compounds, his regard diminishes.”
Sarah Wynn-Williams, Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism

“America has been just, and it has perpetuated injustice. We have been peaceful, and we have perpetrated acts of violence. We have been—and are—good. And we have done terrible things to people who didn’t deserve them. It has been the land of the free while simultaneously sanctioning oppression. Such is often the experience of any government run by fallible human beings. Sometimes we surprise ourselves in our capacity for greatness, and sometimes the weight of regret wraps around us like a chain.”
Sharon McMahon, The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History
