Daniel Nayeri
“Reading is the act of listening and speaking at the same time, with someone you’ve never met, but love. Even if you hate them, it’s a loving thing to do. You speak someone else’s words to yourself, and hear them for the first time.”
Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue

Daniel Nayeri
“Does writing poetry make you brave? It is a good question to ask. I think making anything is a brave thing to do. Not like fighting brave, obviously. But a kind that looks at a horrible situation and doesn’t crumble. Making anything assumes there’s a world worth making it for.”
Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue

Frederick Buechner
“Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.”
Frederick Buechner, Now and Then: A Memoir of Vocation – Intimate Reflections on Faith, Seminary, Ministry, and Writing

Keith Ferrazzi
“among the failed startups, 80 percent never managed to innovate beyond their original vision for their companies. Among the successful startups, however, two-thirds had found success by discarding whatever founding vision had gotten them funded, because trial and error had led them to a new vision of success.”
Keith Ferrazzi, Competing in the New World of Work: How Radical Adaptability Separates the Best from the Rest

Daniel Nayeri
“But like you, I was made carefully, by a God who loved what He saw.”
Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue
