Ellen Hopkins
“I do have friends, but they don't know me, only someone I've created to take my place. Someone sculpted from ice.”
Ellen Hopkins, Identical
tags: facade

Temple Grandin
“My thinking pattern always starts with specifics and works toward generalization in an associational and nonsequential way.”
Temple Grandin, Thinking in Pictures: My Life with Autism

David M. Ewalt
“Every rule, every chart, every geeky statistic in a game book or module feeds into this impulse. All those details allow us to take apart existence, look at the individual parts, figure out how they work, and put them back together. Some people relieve stress by getting drunk or high and losing control; nerds find comfort by taking control and applying structure. Logic is like a warm blanket.”
David M. Ewalt, Of Dice and Men: The Story of Dungeons & Dragons and the People Who Play It

Edward M. Hallowell
“For someone who has ADD, being bored is like being asphyxiated. It cannot be endured for more than a minute or so. When bored, the person with ADD feels compelled to do something immediately to bring the world back up to speed. Adrenaline”
Edward M. Hallowell, Delivered from Distraction: Getting the Most out of Life with Attention Deficit Disorder

“Choose a leader who will invest in building bridges, not walls. Books, not weapons. Morality, not corruption. Intellectualism and wisdom, not ignorance. Stability, not fear and terror. Peace, not chaos. Love, not hate. Convergence, not segregation. Tolerance, not discrimination. Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance, not superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Environmental improvement and preservation, not destruction. Truth, not lies.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
