“Sometimes truths are what we run from, and sometimes they are what we seek.”
R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree

D.L. Maddox, The Dog Walker: The Prequel

Walt Whitman
“Love the earth and sun and animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labor to others...
And your very flesh shall be a great poem.”
Walt Whitman

Dave Eggers
“A secret between two friends, Mae, is an ocean. It's wide and deep and we lose ourselves in it.”
Dave Eggers (Author), The Circle

Philip Gourevitch
“The people are living separately together,” he said. “So there is responsibility. I cry, you cry. You cry, I cry. We all come running, and the one that stays quiet, the one that stays home, must explain. Is he in league with the criminals? Is he a coward? And what would he expect when he cries? This is simple. This is normal. This is community.”
Philip Gourevitch, We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families
