Dean Mafako
“One of the greatest realizations that I clumsily stumbled upon during this process, was that these people didn’t need someone like me to tell them what to do; they needed someone like me to show them what can be done, together.”
DEAN MAFAKO, M.D., Burned Out

Martin Luther King Jr.
“We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.”
Martin Luther King Jr., I Have a Dream: Writings and Speeches That Changed the World

Aravind Adiga
“The Rooster Coop was doing its work. Servants have to keep other servants from becoming innovators, experimenters, or entrepreneurs.
Yes, that’s the sad truth.
The coop is guarded from the inside.”
Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger

M.R. Noble
“Accepting his form of saving was to strip me of who I was and fit a mold of who he wanted me to be.”
M.R. Noble, Dark Eyes: White Lies

Viktor E. Frankl
“To the European, it is a characteristic of the American culture that, again and again, one is commanded and ordered to 'be happy.' But happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue. One must have a reason to 'be happy.' Once the reason is found, however, one becomes happy automatically. As we see, a human being is not one in pursuit of happiness but rather in search of a reason to become happy, last but not least, through actualizing the potential meaning inherent and dormant in a given situation.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
