Melinda French Gates
“Every society says its outsiders are the problem. But the outsiders are not the problem; the urge to create outsiders is the problem. Overcoming that urge is our greatest challenge and our greatest promise. It will take courage and insight, because the people we push to the margins are the ones who trigger in us the feelings we're afraid of.”
Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World

Ryan Douglass
“It doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, you can’t change yourself. So you have no choice but to be yourself. Fuck everyone who has a problem with it.”
Ryan Douglass, The Taking of Jake Livingston

Melinda French Gates
“It's the mark of a backward society - or a society moving backward - when decisions are made for women by men.”
Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World

Paul Bowles
“Security is a false god; begin making sacrifices to it and you are lost.”
Paul Bowles, Their Heads are Green and Their Hands are Blue: Scenes from the Non-Christian World

Timothy Snyder
“Victor Klemperer, a literary scholar of Jewish origin, turned his philological training against Nazi propaganda. He noticed how Hitler’s language rejected legitimate opposition: The people always meant some people and not others (the president uses the word in this way), encounters were always struggles (the president says winning), and any attempt by free people to understand the world in a different way was defamation of the leader (or, as the president puts it, libel). Politicians”
Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
