Angie Thomas
“Right. Lack of opportunities," Daddy says. "Corporate America don't bring jobs to our communities, and they damn sure ain't quick to hire us. Then, shit, even if you do have a high school diploma, so many of the schools in our neighborhoods don't prepare us well enough. That's why when your momma talked about sending you and your brothers to Williamson, I agreed. Our schools don't get the resources to equip you like Williamson does. It's easier to find some crack that it is the find a good school around here.
"Now, think 'bout this," he says. "How did the drugs even get in our neighborhood? This is a multibillion-dollar industry we talking 'bout, baby. That shit is flown into our communities, but I don't know anybody with a private jet. Do you?"
"No."
"Exactly. Drugs come from somewhere, and they're destroying our community," he says. "You got folks like Brenda, who think they need them survive, and then you got the Khalils, who think they need to sell them to survive. The Brendas can't get jobs unless they're clean, and they can't pay for rehab unless they got jobs. When the Khalils get arrested for selling drugs, they either spend most of their life in prison, another billion-dollar industry, or they have a hard time getting a real job and probably start selling drugs again. That's the hate they're giving us, baby, a system designed against us. That's Thug Life.”
Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

Carlos Ruiz Zafón
“Jaloezie is de religie van de middelmatigen. Het sterkt ze, het beantwoordt aan de onrust die vanbinnen aan ze knaagt en uiteindelijk verteert het hun ziel, terwijl het ze toestaat hun eigen kleinzieligheid en hebzucht te rechtvaardigen totdat ze denken dat het deugden zijn.”
Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Angel's Game

“Een mens kan een tijd lang kijken zonder te zien. Kijken kan Robert ook, maar het theebusje en the kaasschaaf herkennen kan hij niet. Hij kijkt zonder te zien, bedoel ik. Neem zelf de proef maar eens. Je drinkt altijd koffie van een bepaald merk en omdat dat in de drugstore opeens niet meer voorradig is, neem je een ander merk, een andere bus. Als je de volgende dag koffie wilt maken, zoek je overal naar de koffiebus. Het herinneringsbeeld van de oude bus is zo sterk dat hij de bus van het nieuwe merk, de aanwezige bus, vlak voor je neus op de keukenplank, onzichtbaar maakt. Om iets te zien moet je eerst iets kunnen herkennen. Zonder herinnering kun je alleen maar kijken. Dan glijdt de wereld spoorloos door je heen.”
Bernlef J

T.J. Klune
“A home isn't always the house we live in. It's also the people we choose to surround ourselves with.”
T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea

Carlos Ruiz Zafón
“Een mens wordt uiteindelijk tot wat hij ziet weerspiegeld in de ogen van degenen van wie hij houdt.”
Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Angel's Game
