Book cover for Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause
To create a more just society, we must start by studying our past. If we want to know where to go, we must know where we’ve been.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Dalai Lama XIV
“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.”
Dalai Lama XIV

Dalai Lama XIV
“To be kind, honest and have positive thoughts; to forgive those who harm us and treat everyone as a friend; to help those who are suffering and never to consider ourselves superior to anyone else: even if this advice seems rather simplistic, make the effort of seeing whether by following it you can find greater happiness.”
Dalai Lama XIV

Dalai Lama XIV
“Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.”
Dalai Lama XIV

Neil Simon
“Don't listen to those who say, you are taking too big a chance. Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor, and it would surely be rubbed out by today. Most important, don't listen when the little voice of fear inside you rears its ugly head and says "They are all smarter than you out there. They're more talented, they're taller, blonder, prettier, luckier, and they have connections." I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you, not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others, but with the strength of conviction that you can move others by your own efforts, and do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live, the chances are you'll be a person worthy of your own respects.”
Neil Simon
