F. Scott Fitzgerald
“Angry, and half in love with her, and tremendously sorry, I turned away.”

William Shakespeare, King Lear

William Steig
“Later she sat on the ground in the forest between school and home, and spring was so bright and beautiful, the warm air touched her so tenderly, she could almost feel herself changing into a flower. Her light dress felt like petals.
"I love everything," she heard herself say.
"So do I," a voice answered.
Pearl straightened up and looked around. No one was there.”
William Steig, The Amazing Bone

Derrick A. Bell
“Education leads to enlightenment. Enlightenment opens the way to empathy. Empathy foreshadows reform.”
