Salman Rushdie
“Children are the vessels into which adults pour their poison.”
Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children

David Brooks
“A good conversation is an act of joint exploration. Somebody floats a half-formed idea. Somebody else seizes on the nub of the idea, plays with it, offers her own perspective based on her own memories, and floats it back so the other person can respond. A good conversation sparks you to have thoughts you never had before. A good conversation starts in one place and ends up in another.”
David Brooks, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen

Andrew       Peterson
“If you want people to know the truth, tell them.
If you want people to love the truth, tell them a story.”
Andrew Peterson

Zora Neale Hurston
“They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.”
Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

Salman Rushdie
“Who what am I? My answer: I am the sum total of everything that went before me, of all I have been seen done, of everything done-to-me. I am everyone everything whose being-in-the-world affected was affected by mine. I am anything that happens after I've gone which would not have happened if I had not come. Nor am I particularly exceptional in this matter; each "I", everyone of the now-six-hundred-million-plus of us, contains a similar multitude. I repeat for the last time: to understand me, you'll have to swallow a world.”
Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children
