Anthony Doerr
“In the stories after the war, all the resistance heroes were dashing, sinewy types who could construct machine guns from paperclips. And the Germans either raised their godlike blond heads through open tank hatches to watch broken cities scroll past, or else were psychopathic, sex-crazed torturers of beautiful Jewesses. Where did the boy fit in? He made such a faint presence. It was like being in the room with a feather. But his soul glowed with some fundamental kindness, didn’t it?”
Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See

“The world never did help a smart girl. Why would it? We scare the shit out of the world. If the world goes after you, take it as a compliment.”
The Magicians

R.F. Kuang
“There's a Chinese idiom that catches the gist, said Robin. 'Tùsǐhúbēi. The rabbit dies and the fox grieves, for they're animals of a kind.”
R.F. Kuang, Babel

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“Know the ways of the ones who take care of you, so that you may take care of them.
Introduce yourself. Be accountable as the one who comes asking for life. Ask permission before taking. Abide by the answer.
Never take the first. Never take the last. Take only what you need.
Take only that which is given.
Never take more than half. Leave some for others. Harvest in a way that minimizes harm.
Use it respectfully. Never waste what you have taken. Share.
Give thanks for what you have been given.
Give a gift, in reciprocity for what you have taken.
Sustain the ones who sustain you and the earth will last forever.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

James Baldwin
“There is a reason, after all, that some people wish to colonize the moon, and others dance before it as before an ancient friend.”
James Baldwin, No Name in the Street
