Elizabeth Warren
“There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”
Elizabeth Warren

“doing business was a terrible, demonic way to describe the feeling of being needed. It wasn’t doing business. It was being a mitzvah.”
Sacha Lamb, When the Angels Left the Old Country

“Neither of my moms are technically witches," he says, primly. "We are just a highly intuitive family. With, uhh, an especially fine-tuned sense of impending doom."

"Mine too," I tell him. "It’s called being Jewish. Doesn’t make me magic.”
Sacha Lamb, Avi Cantor Has Six Months to Live

“Its heart was heavier with the weight of the young worker’s words. But should a heart not be heavy, in a world full of injustice?”
Sacha Lamb, When the Angels Left the Old Country

“To hell with morning services!” said Little Ash, because this was what the angel should expect from him. “I have been a prisoner—why should my first morning of freedom be spent in services!”

“Because,” said Uriel, “that way you will remember who it was that saved you.”

Practically speaking, Uriel was the one who’d saved him.”
Sacha Lamb, When the Angels Left the Old Country
