Rudolfo Anaya
“And what of the men who made love to the woman who became La Llorona? Did they every cry for their children? It doesn't seem fair to have only her suffer, only her crying and doing penance. Perhaps a man should run with her, and in our legends we would call him "El Mero Chingón," he who screwed up everything. Then maybe the tale of love and passion and the insanity it can bring will be complete. Yes, I think someday I will write that story.”
Rudolfo Anaya, Silence of the Llano

Fred Rogers
“There are three ways to ultimate success:
The first way is to be kind.
The second way is to be kind.
The third way is to be kind.”
Fred Rogers

“The distrust of external authority heightened the individualism that has largely defined the American character. Americans think of themselves as practical, innovative, and resourceful people who can solve their own problems. This American pragmatism, which sometimes appears as a strain of anti-intellectualism, has strengthened the egalitarian disdain for overarching theory.”
Randall C. Jimerson, American Archival Studies: Readings in Theory and Practice

Fred Rogers
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
Fred Rogers

“This apparent conflict between theory and practicality, and between individualism and collectivism, has led some American archivists to a crisis of professional identity. They see archivists in Europe and Canada enjoying a clearer sense of professional purpose, a greater unity of agreed upon principles and methods, a stronger recognition and respect from the public.”
Randall C. Jimerson, American Archival Studies: Readings in Theory and Practice
