Suzanne Collins
“You were capable of imagining a different future. And maybe it won’t be realized today, maybe not in our lifetime. Maybe it will take generations. We’re all part of a continuum. Does that make it pointless?”
Suzanne Collins, Sunrise on the Reaping

Kristin Hannah
“Love mattered in this ruined world, but so did honor. What was one without the other?”
Kristin Hannah, The Women

Omar El Akkad
“The moral component of history, the most necessary component, is simply a single question, asked over and over again: When it mattered, who sided with justice and who sided with power? What makes moments such as this one so dangerous, so clarifying, is that one way or another everyone is forced to answer.”
Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

John Green
“It reminded me, that when we know about suffering, when we are proximal to it, we are capable of extraordinary generosity. We can do and be so much for each other. But only when we see one another in our full humanity. Not as statistics or problems, but as people who deserve to be alive in the world.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
“Remember that just because something is, doesn’t mean it can’t change, and just because you haven’t seen something before, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.”
Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Chain-Gang All-Stars
