“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Whenever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the centre of the universe.”
Eli Weisel

Anthony Doerr
“So how, children, does the brain, which lives without a spark of light, build for us a world full of light?”
Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

Elizabeth Acevedo
“Swimming might be the closest to flying
a human being can get. There is something
about your body displacing water

in order to propel through space that makes you feel
Godtouched. That makes me understand evolution,
that we really must have crawled up from the sea.”
Elizabeth Acevedo, Clap When You Land

Michelle Knight
“In order to get past something terrible, sometimes you have to walk through the pain, not around it.”
Michelle Knight, Finding Me: A Decade of Darkness, a Life Reclaimed: A Memoir of the Cleveland Kidnappings

Cheryl Strayed
“[Books] were the world I could lose myself in when the one I was actually living in became too lonely or harsh or difficult to bear.”
Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail
