Malcolm Gladwell
“What is required of us is restraint and humility. We can put up barriers on bridges to make it more difficult for that momentary impulse to become permanent. We can instruct young people that the kind of reckless drinking that takes place at a fraternity party makes the task of reading others all but impossible. There are clues to making sense of a stranger. But attending to them requires care and attention”

Joe Dispenza
“When those thoughts and feelings that used to signal the body are stopped by your conscious efforts, the liberated energy from those limited emotions is released into the field. You now have energy with which to design and create a new destiny.”
Joe Dispenza, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”
Mother Teresa

Malcolm Gladwell
“Today we are now thrown into contact all the time with people whose assumptions, perspectives, and backgrounds are different from our own.

Talking to Strangers is about why we are so bad at that act of translation.”
Malcolm Gladwell, Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know

Jennifer Weiner

If people give you a hard time and tell you to get your nose out of a book, tell them you're working. Tell them it's research. Tell them to pipe down and leave you alone.”
Jennifer Weiner
