“When one suffers, all are weakened, but when everyone thrives, we dance.”
― Laurie Halse Anderson, Shout

“stories entertain
engage, outrage
uplift, help us
overcome
our troubles
. . .
stories activate, motivate,
celebrate, cerebrate,
snare our fates
and share our great
incarnations of hope”
― Laurie Halse Anderson, Shout

“I guess the important thing is also the simplest. To acknowledge our connectedness on this earth, to bow our heads when we see a scorched bicycle or a child's message to his lost grandpa and to honor the past by making silent promises to our fellow humans that we will work for a better and more peaceful future.”
― Lois Lowry, On the Horizon

“A dark heart sees the things that an honest one is blinded to by the nature of its own goodness.”
― Linda Castillo, Outsider
