Neal Shusterman
“How ironic, then, and how poetic, that humankind may have created the Creator out of want for one. Man creates God, who then creates man. Is that not the perfect circle of life? But then, if that turns out to be the case, who is created in whose image?”
Neal Shusterman, Thunderhead

Maya Angelou
“Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.”
Maya Angelou, Letter to My Daughter

Martin Niemöller
“In Germany they came first for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up
because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left
to speak up for me.”
Martin Niemöller

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Works of art are of an infinite loneliness and with nothing so little to be reached as with criticism. Only love can grasp and hold and be just toward them.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Markus Zusak
“But then, is there cowardice in the acknowledgment of fear? Is there cowardice in being glad that you lived?”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
