Robert Louis Stevenson
“I have seen wicked men and fools, a great many of both; and I believe they both get paid in the end; but the fools first.”
Robert Louis Stevenson, Kidnapped

“At the threshold of the new day stands the Lord who made it. All darkness and distraction of the dreams of night retreat before the clear light of Jesus Christ and his wakening Word. All unrest, all impurity, all care and anxiety flee before him. Therefore, at the beginning of the day let all distraction and empty talk be silenced and let the first thought and the first word belong to him to whom our whole life belongs. “Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light” (Eph. 5:14)”
Deitrich Bonhoeffer

Wendell Berry
“Brother was gone and he wouldn’t be back. And things that had been so before would never be so again. We were the way we were, nothing could make us any different, and we suffered because of it. Things happened to us the way they did because we were ourselves.”
Wendell Berry, Nathan Coulter

Bessel van der Kolk
“Trauma results in a fundamental reorganization of the way mind and brain manage perceptions. It changes not only how we think and what we think about, but also our very capacity to think. We have discovered that helping victims of trauma find the words to describe what has happened to them is profoundly meaningful, but usually it is not enough. The act of telling the story doesn’t necessarily automatically alter the automatic physical and hormonal responses of bodies that remain hyper vigilant, prepared to be assaulted or violated at any time. For real change to take place, the body needs to learn that the danger has passed and to live in the reality of the present.”
Bessel van der Kolk MD, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

David Grann
“History is a merciless judge. It lays bare our tragic blunders and foolish missteps and exposes our most intimate secrets, wielding the power of hindsight like an arrogant detective who seems to know the end of the mystery from the outset.”
David Grann, Killers of the Flower Moon: Oil, Money, Murder and the Birth of the FBI
