“Read a verse of Homer and you can walk the walls of Troy alongside Hector; fall into a paragraph by Fitzgerald and your Now entangles with Gatsby’s Now; open a 1953 book by Ray Bradbury and go hunting T. rexes.

Step into one, and off you go.”
― Anthony Doerr, author of “All the Light We Cannot See”

“After a while, you're staying mad just to justify an old mistake. Then it's just a game. Two people staring away, refusing to look back over their shoulders, afraid to be the first one to take that chance.”
― Hugh Howey, Wool Omnibus

“There is no greater thrill in life than to find that you are not only useful, but that you can help, and that your help matters.”
― George Wier, The Last Call
