Charles Dickens
“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.”
Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

Nicole Krauss
“Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.”
Nicole Krauss, The History of Love

Matthew Desmond
“The home is the center of life. It is a refuge from the grind of work, the pressure of school, and the menace of the streets. We say that at home, we can “be ourselves.” Everywhere else, we are someone else. At home, we remove our masks.

The home is the wellspring of personhood. It is where our identity takes root and blossoms, where as children, we imagine, play, and question, and as adolescents, we retreat and try. As we grow older, we hope to settle into a place to raise a family or pursue work. When we try to understand ourselves, we often begin by considering the kind of home in which we were raised.”
Matthew Desmond, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

Donald Miller
“There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing.”
Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

Jason Reynolds
“You can't run away from who you are, but what you can do is run toward who you want to be.”
Jason Reynolds, Ghost
