“So much of one's life was spent reading; it made sense not to do it alone.”
Chad Harbach, The Art of Fielding

Jason Fagone
“The world is made of stuff and that stuff behaves in certain predictable ways; if you master the rules, you master the stuff.”
Jason Fagone, Ingenious: A True Story of Invention, Automotive Daring, and the Race to Revive America

“He hasn’t realized yet that you can’t outrun this game. There is no clock, there are only outs, and outs are precious things. As long as you have outs, you have life.”
Matthew Callan, Hang A Crooked Number

“Building stuff was an ethical act, a way to become more fully human.”
Jason Fagone, Ingenious: A True Story of Invention, Automotive Daring, and the Race to Revive America
