“It’s a sensation I’ve come to love as I’ve traveled more, the way a new place signals itself instantly and without pretense.

― Michelle Obama, Becoming

“It is a blessing to know a free woman. Sometimes she will stop by and hold up a mirror for you. She will help you remember who you are.”

“I really didn't realize the librarians were, you know, such a dangerous group.

― Michael Moore
