Joan Steinau Lester
“Funny how an absence can feel like a presence, like that space practically glows with her outline and make me notice how she's not here.”
Joan Steinau Lester, Black, White, Other: In Search of Nina Armstrong

Michelle Obama
“For me, becoming isn’t about arriving somewhere or achieving a certain aim. I see it instead as forward motion, a means of evolving, a way to reach continuously toward a better self. The journey doesn’t end.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

René Daumal
“You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.”
Rene Daumal

Tara Westover
“The skill I was learning was a crucial one, the patience to read things I could not yet understand.”
Tara Westover, Educated

“Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.”
