Rebecca Serle
“You mistake love. You think it has to have a future in order to matter, but it doesn’t. It’s the only thing that does not need to become at all. It matters only insofar as it exists. Here. Now. Love doesn’t require a future.”
Rebecca Serle, In Five Years

Anthony Ray Hinton
“When you are trying to survive, the superficial things don’t matter anymore. When you are hanging at the end of your rope, does it really matter what color the hand is that reaches up to help you?”
Anthony Ray Hinton, The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row

Shirley Hazzard
“I have never suffered greatly ... If you can reach fifty without a catastrophe, you've won. You've got away with it.”
Shirley Hazzard, The Transit of Venus

Michael T. Osterholm
“In a 2015 TED Talk, Bill Gates asserted, “If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it’s most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war. Not missiles, but microbes”
Michael T. Osterholm, Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Killer Germs

Richard Powers
“The best arguments in the world won't change a person's mind. The only thing that can do that is a good story.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory
