Kahlil Gibran
“Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.”
Kahlil Gibran

Patricia Lockwood
“All my life I have overheard, all my life I have listened to what people will let slip when they think you are part of their we. A we is so powerful. It is the most corrupt and formidable institution on earth. Its hands are full of the crispest and most persuasive currency. Its mouth is full of received, repeating language. The we closes its ranks to protect the space inside it, where the air is different. It does not protect people. It protects its own shape.”
Patricia Lockwood, Priestdaddy

Maya Angelou
“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”
Maya Angelou, Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
“It's up to brave hearts, sir, to be patient when things are going badly, as well as being happy when they're going well ... For I've heard that what they call fortune is a flighty woman who drinks too much, and, what's more, she's blind, so she can't see what she's doing, and she doesn't know who she's knocking over or who she's raising up.”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

Ernest Hemingway
“Never delay kissing a pretty girl or opening a bottle of whiskey.”
Ernest Hemingway, QUOTABLE HEMINGWAY: An A to Z Glossary of Quotations from Ernest Hemingway
