Michelle Obama
“We all play a role in this democracy. We need to remember the power of every vote. I continue, too, to keep myself connected to a force that’s larger and more potent than any one election, or leader, or news story—and that’s optimism. For me, this is a form of faith, an antidote to fear.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

“Do we settle for the world as it is, or do we work for the world as it should be?”
Michelle Obama, Becoming

Walt Whitman
“Welcome is every organ and attribute of me, and of any man hearty and clean,
Not an inch nor a particle of an inch is vile, and none shall be
less familiar than the rest.”
Walt Whitman

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“It wasn’t a nice thing to do, and I’m not sure you deserved it. But I don’t regret it. Because I know I had my reasons, and I did the best I could with every thought and feeling that led up to it.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
