Valeria Luiselli
“It is not even the American Dream that they pursue, but rather the more modest aspiration to wake up from the nightmare into which they were born.”
Valeria Luiselli, Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in 40 Questions

Malcolm Gladwell
“A few years later, she deliberately drove her car into a river—then, in typical fashion, wrote a poem about it: And like the cat I have nine times to die. This is Number Three.”
Malcolm Gladwell, Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know About the People We Don’t Know

Brené Brown
“Empathy is not connecting to an experience, it’s connecting to the emotions that underpin an experience.”
Brené Brown, Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.

Brené Brown
“If we believe empathy is finite, like pizza, and practicing empathy with someone leaves fewer slices for others, then perhaps comparing levels of suffering would be necessary. Luckily, however, empathy is infinite and renewable. The more you give, the more we all have. That means all pain can be met with empathy—there’s no reason to rank and ration.”
Brené Brown, Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.

Michelle Obama
“In 2009, we’d put on the first-ever White House poetry and spoken-word event, listening as a young composer named Lin-Manuel Miranda stood up and astonished everyone with a piece from a project he was just beginning to put together, describing it as a “concept album about the life of someone I think embodies hip-hop…Treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton.” I remember shaking his hand and saying, “Hey, good luck with the Hamilton thing.”
Michelle Obama, Becoming
