“Fighting the forces of evil – whether Black, gay, feminist, or fabulous – would take drastic measures, the hate-mongers told their followers. Books would need to be banned and laws broken. Some parts of the Constitution might no longer apply to everyone. And there were sections of the Bible they'd have to ignore, starting with love thy neighbor.”

“Despair isn't very productive. That's the problem with it. Like a replicating virus, all despair can make is more of itself.”

“[Calvin's Mom is driving him somewhere.]
CALVIN: Mom, can I drive on the way back?
CALVIN'S MOM: Of course not, Calvin.
CALVIN: Can I just steer then? I promise I won't crash.
CALVIN'S MOM: No, Calvin.
CALVIN: Can I work the gas and brakes while YOU steer?
CALVIN'S MOM: No, Calvin.
CALVIN: You never let me do anything.”
― Calvin & Hobbes

“Mrs. Lasserstein passes out copies of Lord of the Flies and says this will be our fall book, but a whole season seems too long because Lord of the Flies is only 208 pages, and I have already read it, and it is not very interesting. It is by William Golding who won an award for showing that boys are mean and badly behaved, even somewhere nice like the beach. This seems like something anyone in the entire world who has ever met a boy could tell you, but they gave William Golding a Nobel Prize for it.”
