Janine Myung Ja
“We have a right to write our own script even if it disagrees with those who planted us where we are. In fact, if we do not share our personal stories, they will eventually be forgotten or told by someone else. See, I believe our soul wants the life of us to be remembered by at least one, or two, maybe more. In order for people like us to obtain social equality, we need to fill the worldwide web with realistic adoption stories—stories that can convince the mainstream that we should have access to personal documents that pertain to us, birth certificates, and papers that reveal our true identities.”
Janine Myung Ja, Adoption Stories

Alexis de Tocqueville
“In reality it is far less prejudicial to witness the immorality of the great than to witness that immorality which leads to greatness.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America: Volume 1

S.G. Blaise
“You won’t throw up. Unless you’re allergic to lemon root… but let’s not worry about that now.”
S.G. Blaise, The Last Lumenian

Diana Gabaldon
“I hated him for as long as I could. But then I realized that loving him...that was a part of me, and one of the best parts. It didn't matter that he couldn't love me, that had nothing to do with it. But if I couldn't forgive him, then I could not love him, and that part of me was gone. And I found eventually that I wanted it back."

({Lord John, Drums of Autumn}”
Diana Gabaldon, Drums of Autumn

Elizabeth Gilbert
“Someone has to write all those stories: why not me?”
Elizabeth Gilbert
