Thomas L. Friedman
“Removing tyrants sometimes does indeed lead to freedom. At other times it merely leads to new kinds of tyranny. Happy the revolution where the revolutionaries are both freedom-loving and effectively organized for the long haul of political struggle.”
Thomas L. Friedman, Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations

Colson Whitehead
“In another country they would have been criminals, but this was America.”
Colson Whitehead, The Underground Railroad

David  Pietrusza
“A. R. promised to abide by Belmont’s wishes—to limit bets, to avoid the track except for holidays. He soon broke those promises. “What are you doing here today?” Belmont asked one day as he spotted Arnold at the track. “It’s a holiday.” “A holiday?” “Why yes, you ought to know, Mr. Belmont. It’s Rosh Hashanah.”
David Pietrusza, Rothstein: The Life, Times, and Murder of the Criminal Genius Who Fixed the 1919 World Series

Gretchen Rubin
“On Three Ways of Writing for Children”: When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project

Thomas L. Friedman
“In Syria, the Obama administration has constantly wrestled with a fiendishly difficult question: Should America and its allies work to take out the murderous Syrian president Bashar al-Assad first—in which case they would lose the support of Iran and Russia and likely introduce even more near-term disorder into Syria? Or should it take out ISIS first—with the tacit support of Iran and Russia—and allow Assad to stay in power, containing total disorder but also crushing the more secular, democratic Syrian opposition? As of the writing of this book, America has not resolved that dilemma.”
Thomas L. Friedman, Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations
