― Evan Puschak, Escape into Meaning: Essays on Superman, Public Benches, and Other Obsessions

“Most of us prefer to believe we are the active subjects of our victories but only the passive objects of our defeats. We triumph, but it is not really we who fail - we are ruined by forces beyond our control.”
― Hernan Diaz, Trust

“For me, fiction is when research meets compassion; I believe this is often why facts don't change people's minds, but stories do.”
