Tara Westover
“The skill I was learning was a crucial one, the patience to read things I could not yet understand.”
Tara Westover, Educated

Carmen Maria Machado
“I had a room to myself as a kid, but my mother was always quick to point out that it wasn't my room, it was her room and I was merely permitted to occupy it. Her point, of course, was that my parents had earned everything and I was merely borrowing the space, and while this is technically true I cannot help but marvel at the singular damage of this dark idea: That my existence as a child was a kind of debt and nothing, no matter how small, was mine. That no space was truly private; anything of mine could be forfeited at someone else's whim.”
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

Tara Westover
“I began to experience the most powerful advantage of money: the ability to think of things besides money.”
Tara Westover, Educated

Tara Westover
“To write my essay I had to read books differently, without giving myself over to either fear or adoration. Because Burke had defended the British monarchy, Dad would have said he was an agent of tyranny. He wouldn't have wanted the book in the house. There was a thrill in trusting myself to read the words. I felt a similar thrill in reading Madison, Hamilton and Jay, especially on those occasions when I discarded their conclusions in favor of Burke's, or when it seemed to me that their ideas were not really different in substance, only in form. There were wonderful suppositions embedded in this method of reading: that books are not tricks, and that I was not feeble.”
Tara Westover, Educated

“The creative adult is the child who survived.” –Ursula Leguin”
