Book cover for Poverty, by America
Poverty is traumatic, and since society isn’t investing in its treatment, poor people often have their own ways of coping with their pain.

“In any case, crime is relative — its boundaries shifting in service of the people in power.”
Laila Lalami, The Dream Hotel

Fredrik Backman
“Don’t look on the internet for someone who is exactly like you. Look for someone who isn’t. Love is not to never fight. Love is always making up.”
Fredrik Backman, The Answer Is No

Sally Rooney
“Nonetheless, it is better to feel hopeful and optimistic about one’s life on earth while engaged in the never-ending struggle to pay rent, than to feel despondent and depressed while engaged in the same non-optional struggle anyway.”
Sally Rooney, Intermezzo

Fredrik Backman
“Being smart is the worst thing one can be in modern society. All it ever means is more work.”
Fredrik Backman, The Answer Is No

Laila Lalami
“Freedom is not a blank slate, she wants to tell them. Freedom is teeming, and complicated, and yes — risky. And it can only be written in the company of others.”
Laila Lalami, The Dream Hotel
