Stephen        King
“When he got to the tank’s flat, circular cap, it seemed that he must be standing directly under the roof of the world, and if he reached up he could scratch blue chalk from the bottom of the sky with his fingernails”
Stephen King, The Stand

David McCullough
“Is the present state of the national republic enough? Is virtue the principal of our government? Is honor? Or is ambition and avarice, adulation, baseness, covetousness, the thirst for riches, indifference concerning the means of rising and enriching, the contempt of principle, the spirit of party and of faction the motive and principle that governs?

From a letter by John Adams”
David McCullough, John Adams

Stephen        King
“In that brief time between, the night had been a fragrant puzzle, a time when, looking up at the star-strewn sky and listening to the breeze that brought such intoxicating smells, you felt close to the heartbeat of the universe, to love and life.”
Stephen King, The Stand

Bruce Lee
“Effort within the mind further limits the mind, because effort implies struggle toward a goal and when you have a goal, a purpose, an end in view, you have placed a limit on the mind.”
Bruce Lee, Tao of Jeet Kune Do: New Expanded Edition

Yaa Gyasi
“If I've thought of my mother as callous, and many times I have, then it is important to remember what a callus is: the hardened tissue that forms over a wound.”
Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom
