Greg Lukianoff
“From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice. I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty. Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that you don’t take friends for granted. I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either. And when you lose, as you will from time to time, I hope every now and then, your opponent will gloat over your failure. It is a way for you to understand the importance of sportsmanship. I hope you’ll be ignored so you know the importance of listening to others, and I hope you will have just enough pain to learn compassion. Whether I wish these things or not, they’re going to happen. And whether you benefit from them or not will depend upon your ability to see the message in your misfortunes.”
Greg Lukianoff, The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting up a Generation for Failure

“The Lord does not make men do evil things to one another. But the Lord gave us the right to choose. Whether we do good or evil, it is our own decision and our own responsibility.”
Olivia Hawker, The Ragged Edge of Night

“In three jumps she had widened her lead from one length to seven. How had she opened up like that?”
Jane Schwartz, Ruffian: Burning From the Start

“The filly was a freak! She had descended from another planet; that was the only explanation.”
Jane Schwartz, Ruffian: Burning From the Start

Richard Sibbes
“What a support to our faith is this, that God the Father, the party offended by our sins, is so well pleased with the work of redemption!”
Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed
